Hans — Your series on AI/Palantir has been banging around in my brain like a loose marble in a microwave.
You’ve laid out one of the sharpest, most unnerving frameworks I’ve seen connecting AI’s epistemic corrosion to the machinery of governance — and it’s triggered a whole mess of thoughts I might need to exorcise in a future piece (or three). Especially your framing of Palantir as a kind of proto-operating system for a post-democratic state… yeah, I’ve been sketching a mental map that starts looking less like liberal democracy and more like Skynet with a GUI and export functions.
If you’re game, I’d love to riff with you deeper on this — either through a collab post or parallel pieces that speak to each other. The overlap between predictive governance, AI-enabled kill chains, and what happens when policy becomes productized is a rabbit hole I’m ready to spelunk with backup.
Let me know if you're up for that kind of mischief. Either way, consider this series bookmarked and annotated within an inch of its life.
