Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, the billionaire tech investor said the Vatican’s concerns could discourage America in the AI arms race, warned of a democratic-socialist takeover and explained why he named Palantir after JRR Tolkien’s treacherous seeing stones.
Technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. I have not read the books so I am just going by memory of the movie franchise which I haven’t seen since it first came out (and I have Long Covid) so the finer points of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion(Thank you spellcheck for that one) are not at my fingertips.
Considering the Death and Destruction of the real world Palantir, not to mention the evil use of general control and aid in creating a police state on purpose to the point that its employees have at several points have opened up large discussions that basically say “Are we the baddies???” I think the evil version of the Palantir shown in the films is the best analogue.
