First Palantir, now Sauron.

I opened up one of their company surveillance cameras and a ring fell out .... what should I do with it?
- Don’t listen to this^ naysayer. Put it on and attempt to claim its power as your own. What's the worst that could happen?
I was hoping for Palantir to be mentioned, and it didn't disappoint!
Good read.
Is this a side venture to Palantir?
I detest our modern surveillance culture. But ...
one of Sauron's chief products is its "deterrence pod," a detection system that pairs with an autonomous drone that wards off trespassers by blasting them with a powerful, ominous logo-emblazoned search light, sweeping over their movements.
I promise I will get back to advocating for principled privacy laws - right after I'm done buying and installing one of these for Halloween.
