I remember when an entire Big Mac Extra Value Meal was $4.99 :-(

I would think dynamic pricing would be super-obvious to the customer unless they are limiting it to specific price points. Market-based pricing has been a thing for a long time for other products. I already suspect it's used in retail even in my own town when I can go to Wal-Mart on one end of town and find deals different than the one on the other side of town. This just means the end of nation-wide ad campaigns for Mc.D's I guess.

A Palantir spokesperson told Bloomberg the company "is not responsible for the underlying data nor identifying intelligence deficiencies"

That's like a chef saying he's not responsible for poisoning people when he used spoiled food, because he didn't raise the animals or grow the crops. He still made the choice to cook using them with their questionable quality. The diner isn't always able to see all issues before they consume the dish.

Well if we're talking about a game streaming service, yeah. They're paying a monthly fee for a service they essentially aren't using. Clearly getting paid for less service delivered will be more profitable than getting the same fee for someone using it out the wazoo and being demanding about things like frame rates and latency.

There will need to be a lot of exceptions/exemptions...

Yeah -- because you can't connect your shiny new AI data center to the grid if there's no hardware to do that.
Interesting the people most in need of this stuff right now, and the most desperate to get their projects up and running fast, also happen to have very deep pockets, too.
