I agree with the principle. I don’t know anything about Palantir’s recent product, but going by your description:
The value that Palantir does provide is that it provides interfaces of how a model can interact with the existing data a company has and how to create multi-step chains of data transformation. It provides a system to manage agents that use models to make decisions.
What Palantir seems to have done was get the value from A to B.Naturally, this is much more valuable/dangerous than generically raising the possibility of value. Extending the war metaphor, this isn’t an appeal to plan for the next war, this is an appeal to things that are true in all the wars.
