- Alex Karp was right: you don’t own your data
Following a discussion by Palantir CEO Alex Karp on CNBC about data ownership, the article argues that standard agreements like OpenAI's are insufficient regarding intermediate reasoning tokens.

This gap raises serious questions about who legally owns this unbilled data.
