"For long-time employees and alumni of the company, this feels deeply weird. During the 2016–2020 era especially, telling people you worked at Palantir was unpopular. The company was seen as spy tech, NSA surveillance, or worse. There were regular protests outside the office. Even among people who didn’t have a problem with it morally, the company was dismissed as a consulting company masquerading as software, or, at best, a sophisticated form of talent arbitrage."

You don't have to dig too deep to find eye-raising Palantir stories.

Palantir, the controversial software company with ties to intelligence agencies, is turning to the agency world as part of its continued efforts to grow its commercial business.

The company, which was co-founded by venture capitalist Peter Thiel, has pitched advertising agencies on utilizing its year-old AI platform AIP, according to two executives from different agencies who attended pitches.

In a pitch deck shared with Marketing Brew, Palantir presents “wide-ranging use cases and applications” of AIP for tasks including “pricing and inventory planning,” “programmatic sales,” and “campaign optimization.”

I've heard fun anecdotes, such as Thiel using Palantir for lobbying -- microtargeting billboard ads in one train station, buying a full page ad at an exact particular place in a newspaper, just to get the attention of a single congressman on their daily commute.
