If Palantir was seeing anything correctly it would have foreseen HRC’s loss, if it’s an aggregate behavior predictor. The MOST IMPORTANT factor in swamp intel’s future to even pay the rent.

You are over the target. Problem is data inputting. Tne results are still only as good as “inputted” data. All subject to human error. Does Palantir resolve that issue. Maybe.

Wow! That sounds like Hari Seldon's Psychohistory from Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series. Seldon was able to predict the behavior of large groups, but his model broke down with smaller scales and unpredictability ensued.

For those unfamiliar, Wikipedia's take on Hari Seldon.

Here is a snippet ...
Hari Seldon is a fictional character in Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. In his capacity as mathematics professor at Streeling University on the planet Trantor, Seldon develops psychohistory, an algorithmic science that allows him to predict the future in probabilistic terms. On the basis of his psychohistory he is able to predict the eventual fall of the Galactic Empire and to develop a means to shorten the millennia of chaos to follow.

1) DNC/Hillary/zer0 had/have an AI named Ada( the female inventor of the prediction engine or the 1st *computer*. This was their version of the old Voter Vault aggregate information, down to individual street addresses. I read that Ada told them repeatedly either she was losing or Trump was winning or both AND THEY WOULDN’T BELIEVE IT, SO THEY ORDERED THE ALGO TO BE TWEAKED!

2) Back around 2000 or so, a relative worked for one of the large Chicago hedge funds. His job was to set up the late night (US time) conference calls between clients. One of those clients was Quantum Fund (Soros). At the time, Soros/Quantum (and maybe others, don’t recall)were petitioning SEC for real time access to ALL market data. They were open about desiring to build a ‘prediction engine’. With this data stream, they could accurately forecast individual stock movements and thus take the risk out of the market. Key words in both algorithms is ‘prediction engine.’

Combine all the info held by Goog, FB, Twatter, et al into this sort of format and then use social media to target individual political decisions. IIRC, Goog/FB say in all seriousness they can control voting behavior by 90% by directing feeds to individuals.

Besides arrogance, DNC/HRC/zer0 could not factor in people without smart phones, Amazon Prime,Netflix, heavy search engine use, open emails like gmail. Y’all know who you are.

Many of us out here in the boonies know that Bing maps cannot even find us accurately. In our case, people using GPS are directed way off track by many miles, opposite direction, et al. Remember when rural addresses were ‘Rural Route #’? Then, the USPS went to grid system based on township fire numbers. Combined with the extended zip codes, this was supposed to make it *easier* to deliver the mail. Looks like it tried to make other things easier, too. But, in rolling, hilly country with people owning large acreage, it seems to still be inaccurate. I know our property’s satellite view is based on very old Ag Dept data...we can tell by the size of fields/woodland.

I’m sure they’ll fix that.
