      I don’t think it’s that, it’s more like the intrepid dedication to work is a turn off for most people.

    Dang I was going to be a tech bro so I could be rich but if these hoes are choosing morals over money then maybe I will just get a part time job somewhere instead.

      Nah, the hoes will still show because money attracts spenders. These tech bros have the personality of cardboard probably, and they’re delusional like Thiel and trying to find the Antichrist or “everything is a network”

      If you think of them as ‘hoes’ it probably won’t make any difference, but good luck!

        The second sentence in the subtitle states “It’s made getting laid a whole lot harder”. That sentence set the precedent for my comment.

        The term is all semantics. I’m fine calling them women, men, trans, sexual partners, furries, one night stand, friends with benefits or whatever term fits best. You and I were just being sarcastic.

        Maybe they don’t think of all women as hoes but instead specifically want to attract women of the hoe variety?

    Odd. A few of my buddies from grad school went to work for military contractors and if “I build inertial guidance systems for ballistic missiles” guy is happily married then maybe Palantir guy is just looking in the wrong place?

      Most Americans don’t care about defense contractors. They hurt foreigners we don’t know, unlike Palantir which intentionally hurts Americans in addition to foreigners.

    OK, framing it as just a tech company is kind of burying the lead. Yeah, a lot of them suck, but this is the nastiest evil one around.

        It’s Initrode now.

        And, yeah, when I tell people I work in tech the response is either “cool” or questions about what we do and how we do it, from the more geeky people. But I also don’t work for a company that “shortens the kill chain” or “connects the supply chain to the kill chain”

        EDIT : I want to be very clear that “Connecting the Supply Chain to the Kill Chain” is the real actual title of one of their advertising docs on their official website linked above.

          Palantir’s such a psychotically cringey company. Acting like flying a MacBook from a desk in Miami is some warrior shit. God I hate them so much. What’s worse is they actually do help kill people but never have to come face to face with it.

          On top of that their cringe is infecting other tech companies. Like the term “forward deployed engineer”. Because you know, implying that you’re at war with your customers is definitely healthy and appropriate.

        Even Tesla on paper builds cars. Yeah Elon is a Nazi, but it isn’t the panopticon company that’s also providing warcrimes software

          In the industry Tesla is known for being incredibly hostile towards women who work there. But yeah I doubt most people outside tech would know that, though they probably wouldn’t be surprised.

    Since joining the tech company in 2025, Gary has noticed that naming his employer prompts brutal reactions from prospective paramours. One woman, he says, called him the devil; another asked how he lives with himself. “Sometimes people would just straight up stop talking to me,” he says.

    Take a fucking hint Gary…

    Gary has resorted to saying he works in AI. “Even that gets some pretty bad responses sometimes,” he says. His Hinge profile doesn’t mention his employer. And sometimes he makes up stories out of thin air to justify working for Palantir—like that line about the medical debt. His parents don’t have any, nor are they ill.

    Jesus fucking christ, Gary…at this point you’re just a bad person. Reevaluate your life decisions.

      I’d respect this douche a lot more if he just hired a sex worker and moved on.

      Reading this, I’m just like “Dude, just accept it. You’re not a good person.” And he won’t be as long as he continue to work there (and afterwards too, unless he gave all his money to the people he’s harmed and then worked tirelessly to do right by them…but we all know he’s just another dude who is willing to lie to get laid).

      Honestly if I worked in a big evil tech company, I’d just never date again and just accept it’s Fleshlights and/or sex workers for the rest of my life. There’s alot less shame in that than whatever the fuck this pathetic shit is.
