While early September is usually too soon to crown a champion, the opening weekend provided plenty of evidence regarding who belongs in the conversation and who is sliding backward.

A fundamental rift is opening between the titans of Silicon Valley over how quickly artificial intelligence should be integrated into society.

For investors looking for a catalyst to push the share price toward new highs, the answer lies not in finding more customers, but in how quickly the company can turn signed contracts into active deployments.The numbers suggest that Palantir has plenty of business locked…
