@0x49fa98 Deleuze's short essay from 1990 on societies of control might (kind of) have the answer to your question. The conclusion is simple: methods of enforcement are slowly changing from incarceration in prison systems to modulation via cybernetics. The latter is the cheaper solution.
Interoperability is where AI hype goes to die.
If your “agent” can’t work across data, logic, actions, security of legacy systems, it’s not transforming the enterprise. It’s just another app asking for an export.
Winners don’t rip and replace. They operate.
@0x49fa98 We have to pay constant attention to what the algorithm is serving us. I constantly wrestle with it just so I can get anything good and meaningful
@soofisticated@PalantirTech Palantir fights insurance company denials and makes hospitals significantly more efficient. They are giving you what you ask for. They only process data, they don't collect it. Their software is audited by strict assessors for security compliance.
@KonProg@BrettKrieger12 I'm not an economist but I think if Insurance companies get their denials fought enough to the point they have to be upfront with terms due to their losses, then that might stimulate Insurance competition because it's easier to research as terms get less wishy-washy.
Right, but those are mostly legislative issues that Palantir can't really do too much about, they can only innovate against it. For Insurance, they did partner with a company that helps medical workers fight against insurance claim denials a lot more easily.
(I promise I'm not using LLMs to answer any of these)
@KonProg@BrettKrieger12 The software is very interesting to look into. There's other markets they're improving beyond just warfare and the IC, they also serve hospitals and other industries, it helps logistics significantly. Their data is completely sovereign as well, they don't report back to anything.
@KonProg@BrettKrieger12 Also, I believe the U.S. has been supporting Ukrainians with Palantir to help them get more leverage in warfare. Would this be considered a good utility to defend their nation?
Yes, less dangerous isn't the same as not dangerous. A knife is less dangerous than a rifle, both can be utilized to kill someone, one requires more work than another. The thing is, I believe these nations are already equipped to be dangerous enough. It's a matter of utility at this point.
@KonProg@BrettKrieger12 Imagine if the Russians, the United States, the UK, and China all had a completely identical Palantir. Would all of them actively oppress their citizens in the same way, at the same magnitude? If not, which ones would be worse and why?
you might not like it, but there's a non-zero chance that the next major religious movement is going to be founded by a some semi-literate homeless schizo being egged on by "ethical guardrail enabled AI"
