Damn right it's a national security concern, let the US keep it's spyware to itself.

You'd think that an entities senior leadership and investors being populated with openly corrupt, anti-democratic, mentally-ill, psychopathic, megalomaniacal, fascists and pedophiles would be a deal breaker, but most of the political class across Liberal "democracies" don't have a problem with it.

why would they have a problem with people just like them?

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago

They should do it loudly, imho

Responsible personnel?
In a government?
In this time, age and economy?

Holy fuck. I must be dreaming.

Pedro Sanchez is a capable prime minister of the ruling Spanish Socialist Worker's Party. Unfortunately, his party and his family members are embroiled in scandals which tarnishes his legacy. But that's not to say that Pedro isn't corrupt himself, he just hadn't been directly implicated.

I think you found a hack, actually.

Why quietly, though? Scream it to the world that you are kicking out Palantir!

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have noticed what appears to be an uptick in the usage of quietly recently. It's like the new "slammed".

Maybe because AI loves using adverbs. Like, there is always an uncanny amount of adverbs. So my guess is those headlines are ai generated or at least partially written

But then the mutated Orange would throw a fit and slam his small nub of a dick around.

I mean did any country think it was a one-way info faucet? Where do they think the Intel was coming from?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

Not from AMD.

It's an interesting point.

I would assume, personally, given that the Biden admin and Trump I admin were staffed with actual serious people, that there were more guardrails and oversight and Alex Karp had to be better behaved in his business operations. The billionaires, however, are running the asylum now, and there are absolutely no guardrails.

In 10-20 years, when Donald is gone and people feel safe to write books about what's actually happening right now, it's going to make for interesting and enlightening reading.

"enlightening" is mighty generous

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (21 children)

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Look for work there? If you're in the EU, you'd just come over and look for a rent spot

Can we have that in the UK too?

[–] EtzBetz@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

Can we have that in Germany too?

I'm jealous. Spain government doing everything right in the struggle against big tech dystopia, genocide, fascism. 🇪🇸

[–] Jackhammer_Joe@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Spain keeps on winning. Hell yeah! Let's fucking go!

[–] Cavemanfreak@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

And in Sweden we're signing up for even more use of Palantir by the military and police... 🙃

  • Old days: "We need more files and papers and other stationery for our loyal employees to keep track of all of our data and information."
  • Nowadays: "We need an international company of questionable ethics to keep track of all of our data and information."
  • We've come a long way, baby. /s

Estaban usando palantir? Qué hijos de perra

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

At least they stopped using it.

More than can be said about the current Finnish government
