Pop culture translation should it help anyone…
Palantir built Project Insight from "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and Israel is using it to commit genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. Hydra is Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Thiel, etc. their nameless MAGA goons and astroturfers.
An absolutely astonishing account of Israel's AI-assisted targeting in the @latimes
