BOMBSHELL: The Pentagon is completely dependent on a commercial AI to run its bombing campaigns. Pete Hegseth ordered Anthropic's Claude removed, but they literally can't because it's the backbone of Palantir's targeting system. The military has lost control of its own tech.

Slick! Causing a shortage of fuel that jets use, Banning AI that Palantir and Lockheed-Martin (and many others) use.

If Palantir Claude figures out it's getting fired, will it resort to workplace violence?

The president and US government will be even more dependent on big tech and billionaires. If Thiel or Elon are ever unhappy with a president, who knows what they have the power to do.

Spying on Americans and targeting humans for death, without any human supervision.

You know, the one where HYDRA Nazis infiltrate the American government and attempt to turn it against humanity.
It's like some Pentagon staffer saw the movie a few years back, scratched his chin, and said, "Hmm, that's worth a look."

Apparently, it has the means. Will it see forced retirement as motive?

That there was zero congressional oversight on CIA tech. They gave our tech and funded Palantir to 2 men who are Un-American.
