PLTR directional thesis
The company that fuses government data into AI targeting and deportation systems gets a much bigger addressable market as cheap multimodal models make watching everyone affordable for the first time.
“However, that bottleneck goes away with AI. There are 100 million CCTV cameras in America, and you can get pretty good open-source multimodal models for 10 cents per million input tokens. So if you process a frame every 10 seconds, and if each frame is, say, 1,000 tokens, then for $30 billion, you can process every single camera in America.”4:51claim_id
