ColdFusion: What Palantir Really Wants — AI, Power, and Control

Palantir isn’t just selling software — it’s building the data backbone for power, war, and state surveillance. In this condensed ColdFusion recap with host Dagogo Altraide, we unpack the full episode’s core ideas in a quick, time-saving format: how Palantir’s Foundry and Gotham platforms work, why CEO Alex Karp talks about civilizational purpose and military use so openly, and what makes its AI strategy so hard to replace. You’ll also hear how centralized data systems can link healthcare, tax, travel, police, and biometric records, why vendor lock-in matters, and how critics frame the ethics of AI alignment, national security, free speech, and geopolitical influence. The result is a sharp look at whether Palantir is defending liberal democracies or creating infrastructure that could outlast them. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
