It seems like letting a company like Palantir anywhere near private medical data is a pretty bad idea. I am happy NYC is doing this.

Palantir builds software that customers use to work with their own data. Custody of the data remains with the customer.
This is like saying a hospital that uses Excel is handing over data to Microsoft.

I heard that they lock data by using proprietary formats. MSFT does not do that.

while I understand the meaning here, modern Excel does handover data to Microsoft (via Copilot)...

Why are so many entities dealing with Palantir? They are a poison pill for customers.

They don't have in-house talent to implement what they want. The same reasons they used to hire Deloitte/EY/KPMG/PwC. Palantir is one rung up from those places when it comes to talent/ability to deliver.

"controversial"
Everyone knows what's going on, but also everyone is too afraid to stand up for some reason.

NYC schools just passed some AI guidelines as well. No training on student PII data, no final grades, etc. Unfortunately that's a pinprick for the behemoth.

Their main product is just consulting and PowerBI but for government. So much hysteria online!

J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel's Palantir is reportedly getting the software contract for control of Golden Dome, an orbital weapon system built by Elon Musk.
A weapon system capable of targeting any person on Earth controlled by a mass surveillance company. Wonderful.
