“That means that Palantir #software can only be used to process data precisely in line with the instruction of the #customer. Using the data for anything else would not only be illegal but technically impossible due to granular access controls overseen by the NHS.”

"technically impossible" - #lol 😭

I'm seeing this #ad a lot on #Telegram right now, and I'm just like, #WTF?

Unfortunately, it’s become the norm that online #advertising and #marketing are nothing but a complete rip-off. It seems like they’re just trying to fleece the most gullible users out of their #money. An #AI #bot that gives you true love and attention—exactly what our lonely #society needs.

🎨✨ "How to #Design a Website: Step 1 - Ignore Everyone's Opinions, Especially Yours" 🎭🖥️ Apparently, in a shocking twist, websites should cater to... customers! 🙄 But don't worry, just keep nodding in the back while the decision-makers play #design roulette. 🤷‍♂️🎢

#Customer service claims 100% relationality while being 0% relational because:

- It is not built to connect humans.

- It is built to regulate humans.

- It is not built to understand.

- It is built to neutralize.

- It is not built to care.

- It is built to maintain the system’s image of caring.
