Today I’m joining the Army Reserve, alongside some of the titans of the tech world: @boztank, @kevinweil, and @bobmcgrewai.
 
Our mission: help the Army transform for future missions and adopt bleeding-edge tech.
 
America wins when we unite the dynamism of American innovation with the military’s vital missions. This was the key to our triumphs in the 20th century. It can help us win again.
 
I’m humbled by this new opportunity to serve my country, my home, America. 🇺🇸
You can read my reflections on patriotism, service, and joining the Army here. I’m grateful to @bariweiss and @thefp for publishing them.

The United States is an undeclared state of emergency.

Our Defense Industrial Base is broken. Everyone knows it—including our enemies.

We need a Defense Reformation. It’s time for a revival. It’s time for a little heresy. Here’s my treatise on how to get that done.

The world is turning, but our bureaucracy is standing still.

Russia has teamed up with China and NK to grind down Ukraine. Iran-backed terror groups slaughtered 1200 people in Israel. The CCP is tightening the noose around Taiwan.

The bad guys are moving fast and breaking things. Where are the good guys?
We’re getting left in the dust. China is a peer adversary. We use the euphemism “near-peer” because the truth is more embarrassing.

Our defense industry is first in $ spent but little else. We used to be the best at mass production. Today the distinction belongs to an enemy.

@spacemankale @PalantirTech 1/12 Close. If Ontology is just objects, properties and relations, it is hollow. To make it kinetic you need models, functions, processes, automations. In its highest form, it is an object-oriented programmable abstraction on top of the existing transactional systems.
@spacemankale @PalantirTech 2 /12 Ontology is the SDK for your business. The library of business logic that abstracts away the deep complexity of heterogeneous systems and lets you simply program it. @petewilz is one of the unsung drivers behind Ontology.
@spacemankale @PalantirTech @petewilz 3/ 12 @petewilz on Why is Ontology a category-defining piece of technology? Traditionally, software systems have gravitated towards a partitioned model for data - a physical model for the database, a logical model for applications, and a conceptual model for users.

1/ Between 2020 and the first half of 2022, our #healthcare business has grown 267%. Our impact scales far beyond #COVID19 response. @PalantirTech is the most comprehensive health tech startup you’ve never heard of. 🧵
2/ At #Palantir, our health & life sciences customers are on the frontlines of the toughest #publichealth challenges. We work with leading institutions to solve their hardest problems - from drug discovery to care delivery - at speed.
3/ At the @NIH, our software accelerates critical research. The Covid Cohort Collective (#N3C) used Foundry to analyze an unprecedented collection of EHRs available for #COVID19 research to better understand long COVID. Analysis that once took months can now be done in hours.
