The targeting for Operation Epic Fury ran on a system called Maven.
Nobody was arguing about Maven.
Eight years ago, Maven was the most contested project in Silicon Valley.
In 2018, more than 4,000 Google employees signed a letter opposing the company’s contract to build artificial intelligence for the Pentagon’s targeting systems.
Workers organised a walk out.
Engineers quit.
And Google ultimately abandoned the contract.

I’ve had this contingent of the language police show up in my replies a few times now over the word “cosplay,” and look…
OK, I get it, I get the instinct to say “Don’t drag me into this!” and I applaud the effort to push fascists out of communities, yes to all that…
…and also we need to recognize that what ICE is doing absolutely •is• cosplay. The word means “costume play.” It refers to assembling and wearing costumes that are not necessarily functional, but show affinity for a particular subculture by reproducing characters from that subculture’s popular narratives.
ICE are cosplaying Call of Duty. That is an accurate description of what’s happening. (Listen to “Gear.”)
I make software and I make music. I don’t think either one of those things •should• be about violence. I don’t •want• them to be about violence. But both are used in the service of violence, like it or not. I shout the violence out whenever it shows up. But would be ridiculous for me to point at what Palantir does and say “That’s not software!” Unfortunately, it •is• software. To deny that would be beyond self-defeating; it would be irresponsible.
ICE •is• doing cosplay, and we hate it. It’s an insult to the cosplay subculture. It is an insult to the whole of humanity. Fascism creeps into all of our spheres, into every beloved craft and community, and the response is never to pretend it’s not there. The response is to drive it out.

For folks who have not seen the original, Benanti's takedown of Thiel's "theology" is a fine piece of proper doctrinal mat-slam, rope-bounce, trip-slam, chair-whack, how did you wind up over the ropes on your naked butt sprawled in the audience argument.
We'd do it differently from a Madhyamika Buddhist position, but Thiel took his poison to Rome and it's reassuring to see a Franciscan scholar dissect his theology and ethics with such studied humour.
You can only hope this is a point in time that causes team "I have nothing to hide, why should I be afraid of surveillance tech" might wake the fuck up a bit.

I had not yet submitted myself to a deep dive into Thiel's theology, but it's way more interesting than I had imagined, and explains why he would call his company Palantir, which has always seemed a baffling choice to me. Apparently he's read One Piece, and imagines himself to be constructing A World Government?!?
Also I feel I understand a lot of things about Silicon Valley better now including lots of stuff about social network harms & corporate goals/policies. Belief in Girard's theory of mimetic desire (which I'd not encountered before) explains so much of SV founders' behavior and also it being at least partially reflective of reality explains both their success and some of their harms.
