I know, but afaik you can deploy Foundry also on Prem using Apollo, so that should not be a show stopper.

edit: who am I telling this ;)

Not sure if you have actually used Foundry, but I consider it insanely powerful and well built.

There is a fairly recent demo of Maven Smart System, which is the military product offering on top of Gotham (their government product)

The commercial product, Foundry, is very well documented and an extensive Data Platform that allows to build data pipelines (similar to Databricks) and build low code / no code applications on top. If you master it, its incredibly powerful but complex

I will never understand how people honestly think that there is a such a thing as a central DB. Do you really think that Gov Agencies from all over the world deploy Gotham just connected to the internet without controlling inflow / outflow of data? I would bet money that 99% of critical systems are not even connected to the internet but air-gapped because, believe it or not, people at those agencies are not that stupid.

Yeah, but Foundry is so ahead, not seeing DataSphere competing there honestly. The only reason is, you already are on SAP and don't want a second system.

Also the engineering / product culture @Palantir is diametrically opposed to what exists at SAP, so I favour Palantir.

I think Foundry is insanely impressive tbh. If you set it up correctly, its insanely powerful

The problem that this article has is essentially this:

> Thiel by contrast is profiting from the use of AI weapons targeting systems used in the Ukraine war and the genocide in Gaza.

Thiel is IMO not doing this for profit. He is deeply ideological, which should be more worrisome.
