If you're in England, your #NHS medical data is due to be shared with #PeterThiel's military surveillance firm #Palantir.

Fyi, Palantir have already been using their access to US medical records to target people for #ICE, and #ReformUK have published their plans for ICE UK...

In case you — like me — object to this in the strongest of terms, the @goodlawproject have put together this handy tool to check your local NHS Trust's position, and to say no to this.

Say no to Palantir in the NHS

NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir - fight back

No to Palantir

"AI is giving attackers a huge advantage!"

"Yes, it is. It's amazing how quickly it has destroyed dev, sec, ops, management, company missions and priorities, regulations, information literacy, and civil society, making everyone more vulnerable."

Those who keep complaining that wind turbines do not work when the winds are not blowing, just realized that oil does not work when the Hormuz Strait is not open.

So the richer you get, the more insulated you are from consequences for hurting other people, and the more you hurt other people, the richer you get.

What a world! The people whose wrong beliefs have the widest blast-radius and inflict the most collateral damage *also* have the fewest sources of external discipline that help them improve their beliefs, and often, that collateral damage is a feature, not a bug.
