Re: Tin foil hat
Palantir's products are a decade ahead of the nearest competition & offer a unique opportunity for the NHS & the UK government to actually make a smart decision for once.
Palantir does not collect, buy, sell or share data but it does display this data in ways that people can actually understand & make informed decisions.
a) It's better than something the government or the competitors have or could make
b) It's cheaper than building from scratch (ignoring the fact it would take decades to get anything half useful to be released)
c) I would quite like it if billions of the taxpayer's money were not wasted due to inefficiencies (300m seems a fair trade-off to me)
