- Stratechery published Ben Thompson's Q&A with Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar, covering diffusing intelligence, safety, AI lessons, forward-deployed engineering, Anthropic vs. the U.S., and AI religion.
- Shyam Sankar, Palantir's CTO, has worked at the company for 20 years, supplying the insider tenure behind the interview's treatment of AI safety and forward-deployed engineering.
Why it matters: Palantir gets a direct say in a fight that, per the interview's framing, runs between AI believers, safety critics and the U.S. itself. With a CTO who has spent 20 years inside the company doing forward-deployed engineering, Palantir's own operating model — not just Anthropic's or anyone's model lab — is now on the record in that debate.
