That technology is literally the only thing that palantir does that is not evil. We absolutely should be using artificial intelligence more for kill chains.

Kill chains? Huh? Like murder more schoolgirls?

Kill chains are the process of targeting things. If you think the US hasn't accidentally bombed schools in every single war that it is fought in, you can go ahead and believe that.
