Can anyone familiar with the technology help disillusion naive people like me as to why on earth palantir needs to exist? It feels like a big pile of nothing. But tbf that's how I feel about Salesforce and Jira too. Big fat database schemas with big fat CRUD atop and layers of snazzy sparklines to make PMs and clients feel nurtured and fuzzy that they've done something material.

Not that I disagree with you on how poor the UK Government are, but why are the MOD "wokest organisations on the planet" ?
If you are talking about DEI, then it isn't just MOD but the whole HMG are part of the same policy and initiative.

Hiw does "woke" pose a threat to national security?
What exactly do you mean by "wokeness"?

#14It is insanity that any country would give an iota of data, much less any sort of control, to an org like Palantir. Any government representative for countries outside of the US or Israel that recommends such a vile trojan horse needs to be outed as the traitorous plant that they are. Every element of their personal life needs to be scrutinized, because the only scenario where they would come to such a recommendation is corruption.
Quite aside from that fact that Palantir is basically an arm of the US government -- which has proven to be an enemy to the West and a thoroughly busted idiocracy -- just look at the sociopaths that lead that company. Alex Karp's public appearances are dystopian, and the guy comes across as a vile, self-involved crackhead that has no comprehension how reprehensible he is to 99% of the planet. Thiel is utterly deranged, and that goblin shouldn't come within a parsec of any influence or power.

In what way is being woke a bad thing and how does the MoD being woke a threat to national security?

#17Honestly it's really weird that it was ever allowed to get this stage. Their leadership has been pretty "mask off" for a good while now.

Why does Palantir specifically need to exist? To funnel those juicy government budgets into shareholders' pockets.
Why does anyone bother to use them? Because they have convincing marketing (which may or may not include buttering government palms with, um, "incentives" ...)
Occam's razor: It's a big pile of "list of things being handled by an outside entity so I neither have to think about it, nor hire for them."
