  It’s universally true that having more and better information can improve business and efficiency. (This of course has limits, yes.)

  I’m sure they were offering data that would help the agency.

  Now the ethics, and creepiness? I’m not a commenting on that. Palantir is not ethical. They labor under twisted logic.

  And every time we mention their name online, we probally get a demerit in their database.

    The liability is obviously not high enough if keeping and sharing this data works out positively. Even if the parties involved weren’t obviously evil, the risk to the people is too high for them to accept the risk with only trivial, speculative improvements.

  The UK has been doing some seriously batshit things lately. Obviously we’re not ones to talk but - yeah. It’s sad.

  Yeah I’m not surprised about the Thiel/Epstein thing, I’m more surprised that the NHS is considering any sort of private health data handling by PALANTIR of all companies.

    Somebody is going to be getting a Non-executive board membership or millionaire consulting “gig” from one of Tiel’s companys or one from one of his friends…

    By this point in time in Britain that kind of I thing has been going on long enough to almost be tradition.

  NHS England has tens of millions of patients. Most patient records are undigitised and must be couriered when patients move to a new area or when specialist care is required.

  It’s also a huge, publicly funded service so big data can be crunched to improve outcomes and efficiencies.

  Palantir wanted a big system to use as the testbed for its move into healthcare data systems and offered a low bid.

    Do y’all not have any software engineers domestically? I thought you invented the whole ordeal?

        Unless I am presented with contradictory evidence (I am not accepting feedback) I will assume nobody over there is willing to program a machine of any type out of fear that their balls will be cut off by the government like daddy Turing’s were.
