Palantir partners with Microsoft to sell AI to the government
Palantir, the company named for the dangerous seeing-stones that tended to mislead their users, has announced a partnership with Microsoft to deliver services for classified networks in US defense and intelligence agencies.
“This is a first-of-its-kind, integrated suite of technology that will allow critical national security missions to operationalize Microsoft’s best-in-class large language models (LLMs) via Azure OpenAI Service within Palantir’s AI Platforms (AIP) in Microsoft’s government and classified cloud environments,” the announcement says.
Palantir is a data-analysis company that sucks down huge amounts of personal data to assist governments and companies with surveillance. It is somewhat unclear from the text of the announcement what services Palantir and Microsoft will offer. What we do know is that Microsoft’s Azure cloud services will integrate Palantir products. Previously, Azure incorporated OpenAI’s Chat-GPT4 into a “top secret” version of its software.
What is this fucking Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz shit
Or rather, Peter Thiel...
(I'm aware of Doofenschmitz, just pointing out who is the non-fictional villain here)
Nah, not enough "-inator X000" or talk of taking over the tri-state area. Dr. Doofenshmirtz would have a much cooler plan.
These right wing-ass fuckers ruin everything you love, and now they've come for LOTR.
They have been named like that for far too long
Gotta snap up those gov contracts before the AI hype bubble explodes.
At least the evil megacorps were thoughtful enough to use stereotypical evil megacorp names.
sometimes, one thinks, any intelligence for government would be a good idea.
There might be some intelligence in the government. They're just not likely to serve you.
One perceives that which they don’t understand as stupid but they have perfectly good reasons for status quo and none of them involve the benefit of the common folk
