EA AI safetyism increasingly looks like Marxism-Leninism for the algorithmic age.

The old vanguard claimed privileged knowledge of the inevitable course of History. The new one claims privileged knowledge of the probabilistic course of Humanity.

Both use an elaborate intellectual framework to reach the same political conclusion: a small group of enlightened people must constrain everyone else for their own good.

That has never lead to anything except monumental human suffering.

Horrifying to be listening to a human being speak and realize they’re just a vessel for Claude

The NHS Federated Data Platform has just launched its first public application: the National Genomic Test Directory.

This modern directory specifies the targets, eligibility criteria, and order management details of tests commissioned by the NHSE Genomics Medicine Service. Link ⬇️”

Today’s @ObserverUK does something rare: it asks the people actually using Palantir’s software what they think. A Chief Constable who believes it has prevented domestic murders. NHS workers who’ve delivered 99,000 extra operations and treat patients 41 days sooner with it. A former Chief of the Defence Staff explaining how it keeps troops alive.

It asks the hard questions too - on data sovereignty, democratic accountability, and the responsibilities that come with building powerful technology.

My answers: Palantir has never worked in China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea. We believe in democracy, and that belief is not selective. It means supporting policies with a clear democratic mandate. The alternative - companies deciding which election results to honour - is what should frighten us.

Nowhere is that accountability more tested than on data. Privacy as a concept made sense when you could choose not to generate it. That world is gone. The data is being generated - by your phone, your car, your bank, your hospital. The real question is who controls how your data is used, under what legal conditions, and with what oversight. Governments that pretend otherwise aren’t protecting citizens. They’re just less honest about the trade-offs.

The debate about AI and data in public services is too important to be conducted without the people who actually deliver them. Today’s Observer has changed that. It’s long overdue.
