Except I’m not sure how we can “quit Palantir” as private citizens
Palantir posted a manifesto that reads like the ramblings of a comic book villain
Palantir shared 22 points excerpted from CEO Alex Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska's 2025 book, The Technological Republic, and they're troubling.

Quit Rakuten 楽天
Or some of the reasons why I’m trying
Quit Persona
Another one where I’m just following my arbitrary naming convention for the series. More like “avoid Persona (if possible)” or “watch out for Persona,” I guess
Quit Microsoft
If possible
Quit BeReal
Or: Japanese grown-ups (who are around even remotely sensitive information) should quit BeReal, apparently, because who is even on BeReal any more anywhere else
Collection of collections: Quit x
And also quit X
Quit* W Social
* Not so much “quit” as “you probably shouldn’t move to/sign up for” (just following my naming convention in this “series”). To be clear, I think it’s (probably) totally fine that it exists as an option (unless the potential security concerns turn out to be relevant), but personally I would advise against choosing that option based on what I’m learning. I’m sure it’s a good choice for some people, just probably not anyone I know
Quit 1Password
Potentially, unless they change course—which I’m really, really hoping they will as a longtime user of well over a decade
Quit ChatGPT
Including anything else by OpenAI, but mainly ChatGPT. See also semble.so/profile/aiueo.ooo/collections… and all the Persona-related stuff
