The Pentagon Made Palantir Its Brain. Now What?

The Pentagon has designated Palantir's Maven Smart System as an official program of record, embedding a private company's AI deep into the U.S. military's targeting infrastructure. The engineering is impressive. The accountability framework is not.

Netflix ships a CAPI, and the measurement stack gets its new default

Netflix launched its Conversion API this month, joining Meta, Google, TikTok, Snap, LinkedIn, and Roku in making server-to-server attribution the default measurement architecture. The panic phase of signal loss is over. The engineering phase is here.

Big Tech sent its energy teams to Houston. That tells you everything.

CERAWeek 2026 in Houston is headlined by cloud infrastructure executives from AWS, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Meta. The hyperscalers are collectively spending over $600 billion on data centers this year, and they sent their energy teams, not their AI researchers. The bottleneck is watts, not chips.

The FBI buys your location data from ad exchanges. Kash Patel just said so out loud.

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed under oath that the bureau purchases location data on Americans from commercial data brokers - the same bidstream exhaust from programmatic ad exchanges. The legal gap Carpenter v. United States didn't close is now a documented surveillance program.

AI therapy chatbots routinely break core ethical standards, new research finds

A Brown University study tested AI models prompted to act as therapists. They mishandled crises, reinforced harmful beliefs, and faked empathy. The FDA has authorized over 1,200 AI medical devices and zero cover mental health. That gap is getting harder to ignore.

Publicis just pulled the plug on The Trade Desk. Three holding companies in a month is not a coincidence.

A FirmDecisions audit found fee violations. Dentsu, WPP, and now Publicis have all broken from the industry's dominant independent DSP within weeks. This is not a partner dispute — it's a structural reckoning over who controls programmatic's future.
