Now, if you don't know what Palantir is, basically Palantir is a data analysis software that is used by governments and institutions.

They have two major products.

One of them is Gotham and the other one is Foundry.

Gotham is used by intelligence and military and like NYPD and stuff like that.

Foundry is for the biz.

Exactly.

Foundry is used by companies and stuff like that.

Basically, the idea is that you're able to take and absorb all this data, and then it's able to take all these messy data points and then draw connections between them.

So if you just had a big database of like phone records and travel data and, you know, like traffic tickets and like custody reports and like grades, like it would just be too much data to understand.

And he's on the forefront of taking all this stuff and amalgamating it to then create a comprehensive database on individuals and then predictive behavior about what they're going to do.

Yeah, the concept is it unsilos data.

That's a good way to put it.

And you can basically talk to the software and be like, who is this person?

Who do they know?

Who do they talk to a lot?

Where have they been recently?

And do they like huge, huge, ridiculous boobs?

And if we arrest them for this insane claim, who will defend them?

Oh, really?

There's predictive modeling where it's like, hey, this person has close connections with this person.
