<p>It’s almost if Microsoft had advocated for citizen infrastructure for artificial intelligence, they could have avoided price gouging at the hardware supply chain layer with their younger, more nimble competition, instead they accidentally cannibalized their video game console market, which is their primary driver for future developers, by giving them a vision and a reason to dream about wanting to learn how to make something beautiful to share with the world.<p>Xbox might die, but gamers will live on.<p>There’s no gaming industry left for them to press into positive PR.<p>Yikes.</p>

<p>Palantir is forward deployed engineers doing whatever their customers need.<p>Everything else is just marketing and right sizing. For most things yeah, data bricks and no code sounds right. Most of their work is over the counter benign, but that’s to lend credibility to their other initiatives while funding their quite literal war coffers.</p>
