- No wonder Palantir CEO Alex Karp went off on the AI model makers, since this is how Palantir works.
To close, let's step back a bit and look at how AI is ultimately going to matter to enterprises - and it's not the usual artificial general intelligence Altman and the other AI leaders are always talking about.
