Palantir's NHS future in doubt as ministers eye contract break

Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background: Erik Uden @ErikUden@mastodon.de Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library". Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.

A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information

As usual, the UK approach is "How shit can we get away with it being?" Whereas the French approach, for example, is "Eating well is a foundation of life."

Good morning Wülferhampton , have a taco treats Tuesday. You talented trombone twanglers

Technofacism? Why Palantir's pro-West ‘manifesto' has critics alarmed Palantir's 'manifesto' has been described as an 'AI-driven threat to humanity's existence' and 'technofascism'.

I keep the 'i' handy for 'aluminium'.

I'm already stockpiling 'u's for them to stick in words like 'color', 'labor', and 'neighbor'.

Palantir manifesto described as ‘ramblings of a supervillain’ amid UK contract fears Alarm caused by posts of Alex Karp, tech firm’s CEO, championing US military dominance and of AI weapons

I haven't commented on Palantir specifically but their actions are clearly in line with the rise of corporate giants as significant actors in the world order which is routinely under-discussed by pieces that only focus on what national governments do. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Happy birthday to Robert Smith

The whole Westminster Bubble thought it was cool to appoint a slimy crook to suck up to Trump, until they were reminded he was best mates with a nonce.

They'd already known that, of course, but in ways that meant they didn't have to care.

“It’s clear that AI companies’ initial promise to America — that first it would take their job, and eventually it might kill them — has not inspired a groundswell of public support.”

Tuesday.

This isn’t a perfect Labour PM being done down by a dodgy scandal, it’s a Labour PM who’s made mistake after mistake and led Labour down a path of xenophobic hideousness, now expecting us to forget it and support him.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

I went and watched the segment on iPlayer. This is absolutely wild. It’s basically doing a free micro political broadcast for Reform during BBC Breakfast.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Olly Robbins had to implement something many people at the time believed to be a bad decision, badly made.

But enough of his time as Brexit negotiator.
