Well at least Anduril refers to a sword used by the “good guys” so, industrialization aside, it is a somewhat reasonable name for a US defense company.

Palantir really doesn’t make sense. It’s like developing a bulletproof vest and naming it Horcrux… sure, in the HP world a Horcrux does protect you from death, but it is very associated to evil, so no one who is really fan of the saga would choose that name, especially for a publicly known product.

Then again maybe they just asked an LLM “I have a surveillance solution. I want to name it after a fantasy concept. Any ideas?”
