Palmer Luckey’s Anduril launches EagleEye military helmet with help from buddy Zuck (www.theverge.com)

EagleEye, an AI-powered mixed-reality (MR) system designed to be built into soldiers’ helmets.

The modular hardware is a “family of systems,” according to Anduril’s announcement, including a heads-up display, spatial audio, and radio frequency detection. It can display mission briefings and orders, overlay maps and other information during combat, and control drones and military robotics.

“We don’t want to give service members a new tool—we’re giving them a new teammate,” says Luckey. “The idea of an AI partner embedded in your display has been imagined for decades. EagleEye is the first time it’s real.”

I know Lord of the Rings isn’t without its problematic elements. But still, it’s a book beloved by millions (including me) with an overall wholesome and uplifting story. The fact that Anduril and Palantir are able to use objects from the book and do the worst possible shit under their names makes me want to ✍️ them just for that alone, before we get to all their other crimes.

The Tolkien estate is loaded, I wish they would go after them. Even if Palantir and Anduril aren’t trademarked, I would think that either in US or UK courts, they could argue these companies are so evil and against everything JRR believed in, that associating them with his works is actively, financially harmful.

Palantir should've at the very least been called Sauron.
