    Palantir is a company created so that peter thiel the spawn of hell and the final boss at the end of the right side of the political compass, could use his wealth to influence to manipulate the country into becoming a sick fucked up ULTRA far right ideology. He has literally admitted that he knows his political opinions are too extreme for the country and that he has to manipulate us to achieve his goal. The company is named after a fucking evil seeing stone from lord of the rings for fuck sake. Saying palantir is letting ideology guide it is like saying that the sky is blue.

      The Palantirs werent technically evil, they were just stones that let you see the truth, it’s just the strong holders could manipulate what was seen through them by the weak holders to bend the truth.

      In that respect the company is pretty aptly named, the owners (strong in the rights of the admin) can warp the insights to fit their narrative and feed those to the clients (weak in the rights of the admin). The problem being that the clients are also feeding huge amounts of data (truth) to owners to allow them to do their work. That data is ours.

      Arguably, the naming of the company should at least give any government pause for thought about the reliability of the information provided to them and the true cost of feeding information to them. It’s not like the company isn’t broadcasting the issues with their system by using that specific name … surely there’s no in depth discussion of how a system like this could possibly end badly for someone who doesn’t have completed control over it?!

        give any government pause for thought

        Would have to still be capable of thought. The US gov is just a machine machine you stick a few million into and it sucks your dick lol.

      The stones themselves weren’t evil. They were controlled by evil and corrupted by its presence.

    Do no harm.

    So don’t give patient data to the secret police.

      Poor Gestapo, they’ll have to scrape Facebook for their Orwellian products instead of getting the data spoon-fed to them ;(

    Palantir is literally a stock villain corporation in a cyberpunk novel and I do not in any way, shape, or form, trust them with any form of data.

    He has previously said the British public’s affection for the NHS is a case of “Stockholm syndrome”

    Wtf does that mean? “You are crazy for caring about your healthcare.” lol

      He is using manipulative language so he can get access to your healthcare information, that’s what that means.

    Ah, yes. Only my company can possibly do this task, and your decision not to trust my company to perform this task means you won’t have anybody at all do it ever. 🙄

    K.

    So one group has trained for decades to heal the sick and provide guidance to be more healthy and the other spent it’s time learning how to take as much as possible from their customers.

    Which one is more likely to align with the patient’s interest?
