I mean it’s totally reasonable to be skeptical of the NHS given their record




Not really.

They have a track record of failed IT projects, because they have a very high bar for handling data properly.

Palantir have a track record of successful IT projects, because they do what they want and hope there's limited blowback - they've modelled their biggest customer very well, there.

As somebody born in an NHS hospital whose life has been saved by the NHS on at least 3 occasions, I'm more than happy to defend their record.

Palantir, given what we know that has leaked about what they do and how they do it, considerably less so.

Every time I’ve heard Peter Thiel speak I’ve believed he cares about other things. I’m more concerned about his implementations of things.

Sure. The guy names his companies after tools that evil characters use. Just picture him in a SS uniform the next time he speaks.

Sociopaths are often very convincing. Every action I’ve read about seems to end up enriching himself.
