Brilliant @news.sky.com documentary on the Minab school attack in the Iran War…. turns out AI not directly to blame, but outdated targeting (by years), a cut in the number of humans involved in reviewing targets 👉>121 school children & 26 teachers killed by US www.youtube.com/watch?v=siRu...
…never heard my use of a tendon hammer described like this though. LOL 😂 🐟
So it turns out the data NHS England and DHSC had (repeatedly) been using to justify a £300M contract was 💩…. if only someone had warned them. Oh @thedauk.bsky.social @foxglovelegal.bsky.social did…nearly SIX years ago www.ft.com/content/977a...
There is no doubt that #Palantir software is really good at killing people, trouble is sometimes they kill the wrong people. Killing any people is not a good function in healthcare. This should be obvious! 🤷♂️ www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma...
I’m shocked at @telegraph.co.uk for so brazenly supporting the squandering of taxpayer cash on #Palantir given ongoing investigation by UK stats authority into Dept of Health misrepresentation of data…from Palantir
It’s almost as if Peter Thiel was a reincarnated version of a 1970s Ian Paisley….THE POPE IS THE ANTICHRIST 🤣

#Palantir seem exactly the kind of morally upstanding, talented & 100% sane individuals to run your government, security services, immigration & health…. (I also have some magic beans to sell you 🤪🤪🤪) 👇👇👇👇👇 www.wired.com/story/leak-e... Or archive.is/rwWv6 August 12-16 Nr Dublin

🧵Another #Palantir puff piece in @thetimes.com today they really should try journalism…
Mayor’s office finds #Palantir doesn’t offer value for money. @thetimes.com runs a critical piece of the Mayor. There’s a pattern here. The Times should try journalism 🤷♂️ open.substack.com/pub/drdavidn...
Sadiq Khan finds #Palantir represents poor value for money, as did the Home Office with Homes for Ukraine scheme, cue Louis Mosley from Palantir on @listentotimesradio.bsky.social A reminder of the media spin open.substack.com/pub/drdavidn...
