Please note that Palantir would rather that you didn't share this story, it makes them look even more stupid if you do...

Palantir Sues Swiss Magazine For Accurately Reporting That The Swiss Government Didn’t Want Palantir

If you run a company whose entire value proposition is the ability to see patterns, predict outcomes, and connect dots that others miss, you’d think someone in the building might have flagged…

@kim_harding It has been mislabeled ‘AI’ but it isn’t intelligent and hence not artificial. It is Apparent Stupidity and Theft.

@kim_harding Nice, Palantir never heard of 'Streisand effect' 🤣

The Swiss government seems to be more aware than a certain other government quite close by.

@kim_harding I don't think they care if people know as long as they can make an example out of them/ bleed them dry financially (eg a billion dollar corpo can afford to drag their case in court vs a random news outlet)

So you're saying that Palantir doesn't want us to read this story, which is freely available and only a 15-minute read?

Gotcha.

How tenaciously Palantir courted Switzerland

The controversial tech company Palantir provides surveillance technology. In Switzerland, however, its pitches have been rejected.

I wish the UK government was as savvy. We have sold our soul to the insidious Palantir virus.

@kim_harding I’d been looking for an epithet to concisely describe Palantir to friends…
“a heavy-handed American entity with uncomfortably close ties to U.S. intelligence” just about fits the bill.

@kim_harding @condret
Why are they (Republik) labelling the CEO of a government contractor surveillance company as a libertarian just because he's "right-wing"?
I hate the corruption of that word.

@kim_harding Thwack!

"And in case you didn’t catch the irony: the Swiss military rejected Palantir in part because of fears about a heavy-handed American entity with uncomfortably close ties to U.S. intelligence. Palantir’s response to the reporting of that rejection? Behave like a heavy-handed American entity trying to bully a small foreign publication into submission. If anyone at Palantir had run this decision through their own pattern-recognition software, you’d hope a few red flags would have popped up."
