Palantir, the company named for the dangerous seeing-stones that tended to mislead their users, has announced a partnership with Microsoft to deliver services for classified networks in US defense and intelligence agencies.

“This is a first-of-its-kind, integrated suite of technology that will allow critical national security missions to operationalize Microsoft’s best-in-class large language models (LLMs) via Azure OpenAI Service within Palantir’s AI Platforms (AIP) in Microsoft’s government and classified cloud environments,” the announcement says.

Palantir is a data-analysis company that sucks down huge amounts of personal data to assist governments and companies with surveillance. It is somewhat unclear from the text of the announcement what services Palantir and Microsoft will offer. What we do know is that Microsoft’s Azure cloud services will integrate Palantir products. Previously, Azure incorporated OpenAI’s Chat-GPT4 into a “top secret” version of its software.

Government officials testing the AI:

Will there be a mass protest?

Calculating...

The government will fall and all members will be exiled within 7 years unless following policies are implemented: policies.doc

How about we ignore those policies. Give me a list of the trouble makers so we can start them

Calculating...

The list of most likely suspects can be found here: suspects.doc

Calculating...

Mass protests will now erupt in 3 years and ask members of government executed.

Hmmm. And if we just mislead them so they won't go after us?

Calculating..

Due to massive misinformation, foreign parties can co-opt this system, causing civil war in 8 years and splitting up of the country, with parts de facto ruled by foreign entities. See map.doc

Calculating...

Wealth redistribution recommended. See policies.doc

"Palantir customer service? Yes, I think your doohickey is broken."

Palantir is Theil owned. It's is never, ever going to recommend wealth redistribution.
