How Palantir refactored the government?

Once deals were “started” at the executive level, Palantir usually offered a “free pilot.” The free pilot would be a project politically sponsored by the customer’s executive.

The pilot would start by flying to the customer’s office with a small team of deltas and echos (Palantir internal terms for “forward deployed engineers” and “deployment strategists,” respectively) and working on 1) getting access to data, 2) integrating data together, and 3) visualizing the integrated data in a useful way for the organization.

When I told Nathan “Functions are degenerate relations,” it really took root in his thinking about data to the point that he later thanked me for setting him on the right path. This was the aphorism I’ve been trying to get the CS field to take seriously ever since the VIEWTRON project and it was why I hired Tom Etter at HP’s $500M “Internet Chapter 2” project. I don’t think Nathan ever met Tom, unfortunately. Tom was far superior to me – a colleague of Solomonoff’s who arrived with him early at the Dartmouth Summer of AI in 1956.
