I think there's a golden path right now for them to monetize what we view as potentially a trillion dollar market opportunity.

It's become one of the fastest growing companies on Earth, with clients all over the world, including government contracts in lots of different countries.

And it's basically just a glorified version of that PowerPoint slide General McChrystal was considering during the war in Afghanistan.

It was designed to help keep the balance that FBI agent John O'Neill thought was so important.

He wanted to make sure that the seesaw didn't go too far one way or the other.

But since the capacity of Palantir has expanded exponentially since the advent of these LLMs, a lot of people are starting to think the company is tipping the balance towards order and away from liberty.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is scary.

This is us moving towards what China is doing to their citizens.

People are really quite scared of this company.

The Palantir surveillance.

There are more conspiracy theories swirling around about Palantir than any other Silicon Valley company.

And Peter Thiel and his company Palantir are some of the most evil forces on our planet conspiring against the American people.

Palantir is like a surveillance and predictive policing firm.

And that's because even though it really is just a very fancy PowerPoint slide, which makes intelligence, military, logistics, customer service and cricketing operations more efficient, its leaders have decided to create a kind of weird public image.

And we hope you're in favor of that.

So I think it's important to spend some time talking about this guy, Alex Karp, and what he wants to do with his company that now controls so much of the world's data.

But we're not going to do it today.

We're going to spend our whole next episode on it.

We'll see you then.
