Is Palantir Theranos 2.0? That is, is it a powerful idea, with a plausible business model, but the tech just isn't there and the company is "faking it until making it."
Tyler Robinson was very online, with an extensive written footprint and multiple photos and videos that could have been modeled. Yet he was caught the "old fashioned way," by the police releasing information to the public and being turned in by his father.
The promises made by Palantir and similar outfits have become outlandish—"pre-crime," in essence, "we'll capture him before he acts!" and claims of total surveillance. The public perception of Palantir is that it's vaguely dystopian. But maybe it does jack shit?
