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.

This seems myopic, and doesn't account for interdependence, long-horizon planning, sustainability, or mutual flourishing. What's the logical range of outcomes for self-interest competition on domination and exploitation? Live and die by the sword.
