    Not surprising, at this stage in capitalism we find ourselves in, companies don’t need a good product or service.

    What they need is buzzwords, marketing, and flashy designs (which Palantir nails) in order to seduce venture capitalists to pump money into their business.

    Then the executives and shareholders can laugh all the way to the bank as they go off and sell their artificially inflated stock.

    It is enshittification from the get-go.
