- basket_horse 7mo agoOr, the non politicized take is that they think the software could improve the data landscape of the NHS, which, if we are bring honest, has a lot of room for improvement.
- georgemcbay 7mo agoI am an American so the plight of the NHS has no direct impact on me, but I'd argue that Palantir is a fundamentally political company and thus there is no room for non-politicized takes.
- orochimaaru 7mo agoHave you used Palantir or know the infra on how it provides services? Or just giving sound bites you’ve read on media? You can mandate an installation on self managed infra. We install / use it on a completely self managed cloud install with pretty solid exfiltration protections. It’s a data platform, provides interesting connections in the data. But that’s where its utility ends. Do they work with US defense and govt? Sure they do. But you don’t have to share your data outside of your cloud infra.
- georgemcbay 7mo agoWhat I am talking about has nothing to do with their technology. To know Palantir is an inherently political company you just need to hear Alex Karp speak.
- orochimaaru 7mo agoThey’re all political animals. Alex karp Is just gunning for a bigger share of the govt and defense data market. When you read the Anthropic and DoD (or DoW) saga, Anthropic ceo was happy to provide exceptions for use of clause.
- tt24 7mo agoBoring comment. Let’s say things that add value to the conversation please.
- IAmBroom 7mo agoAn almost literal "No True Scotsman" fallacy, IRL.
