Palantir says college is no longer a reliable training ground

College was never a "training ground." If these companies want a "trained" workforce then they can pay for it themselves. But no, they prefer to freeload off of vulnerable students.

Can Palantir scale this to 60,000 students? What’s the relative scale in costs? And what is the change in reliability? Within universities or between universities? I have a hard time believing Oklahoma state ever produced the same quality or reliability of students as Stanford, and I find it hard to believe Palantir still isn’t setting up a boot at the Stanford career fairs.

What is the alternative for the 2 million or so(surprised it was this low) students who graduate college every year? Certainly it’s not the 22 spots at Palantir?
