Palantir's Co-Founder Wants Us Less Judgmental About Deadly Iran School Strike
In short
Lonsdale, Palantir co-founder, criticizes the accuracy of information about the school strike in Iran, suggesting that the US military might have deliberately lured Iran into the AI-assisted targeting, leading to over 150 deaths, most of whom were children. Lonsdale’s narrative is different from Pentagon officials’ account, who blame overreliance on Palantir technology. Lonsdale’s financial interests and involvement in lobbying suggest a potential interest in regulating or holding accountable defense and technology companies. However, Lonsdale argues that talented people in the weapons business can prevent more 9/11’s, indicating a belief in the moral integrity of the industry.
