They know what they are doing, and that is openly bragging about how evil they are.

The palantiri (Tolkien) are not evil. Literally just a magic viewing orb.

I'm baffled the Tolkien estate didn't sue them into oblivion for using the name.

I saw those ads at an airport too. Can't imagine what they expect people to do when they see the ad... Who's even the target audience for ads like this in the airport?

I wish these tech company owners would resolve their childhood traumas in other ways than trying to fuck the life for the rest of the world.

And then they bring Skynet online. Prepare for fighting against the terminators, folks!
