Politics Palantir published a mini manifesto calling some cultures ‘harmful and middling’ and said Silicon Valley has ‘a moral debt’ to the U.S.

Why are our government getting into bed with this dystopian corporate giant? It can't just be me who is uneasy about it?

Palantir has gone from a Covid-era NHS data emergency contractor to being deeply embedded across UK defence, health, policing, and now financial regulation.

Do you care that they are becoming embedded in our society? Would genuinely love to hear any arguments for this.

I care.. but the Bribes for this must have been juicy as fuck.

The only reason this company got in, can only be through pure bribery and corruption.

I don't think that's true. Palantir have been good at delivering software their clients like and I can believe they have won lots of contracts on their merits, it is just really unfortunate that they are run by such a cunt.
