    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. 🙄

    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 (gaslighting) so he can get access to your healthcare information, that’s what that means.

    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. Palantir accusing doctors of following ideology is the pot calling the kettle black. Also since peter thiel is literally the devil we shouldn’t listen to what he says.

      No. It’s not the pot calling the kettle black, it’s Hitler complaint about how immoral and violent Gandhi is.

      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 seen.

      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?!

          Man Im not experienced in paying for blow jobs but my gut feeling is that you could get a pretty great one a lot cheaper than that. I dunno, maybe the multi million dollar bureaucracy blow job is really really great.

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

    The BMA said its opposition to Palantir’s involvement in the NHS was a matter of good governance, not ideology. “If Palantir’s software is being used to target individuals in immigration enforcement and is being deployed in active conflict zones, then that’s completely incompatible with the values we uphold in the delivery of care,” said Dr David Wrigley, the deputy chair of the BMA’s general practitioners committee. He warned patients would be alarmed and could choose to withhold information from their doctor if they did not trust the organisation processing their data or there were fears about what the data might be used for. The Liberal Democrat MP Martin Wrigley said the interoperability between the data systems Palantir provides for health and defence was “profoundly worrying”. The Conservative MP Kit Malthouse wanted to know if a military could target particular individuals with particular characteristics by using Palantir’s ability to process a large pool of data. Mosley said: “We provide an enormous amount of control and governance to the organisations that use our software for that purpose to manage precisely the kind of risks that you’re talking about.” Malthouse said: “That sounds like a yes”.

      My local NHS doctor adopted a new platform recently. It took a surprisingly large amount of effort to confirm Palantir weren’t involved before I agreed to login to it. I would have flat out refused to use it if Palantir were involved.

    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?
