"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

A recent report published by the U.K. Parliament’s Science, Innovation, and Technology Committee warned that the country’s ongoing relationships with tech giants will make it hard to ever achieve digital independence, and it highlights Palantir as a particularly risky partner to continue to deal with.

The report broadly deals with the challenges of being locked into agreements with third-party technology vendors for essential governmental services. Enter Palantir as the case in point of what can go wrong, in part due to the risk of ongoing enshittification of the company’s technology eroding government services, and in part because the company’s owners can’t stop talking like wannabe fascist dweebs.

Enshittification is an inevitable risk for any and all software that is not open-source and forkable. Microsoft should not exist.

Here's the actual report on the grounds that I wouldn't trust Gizmodo to accurately report on a dog taking a shit.

Oh I'm sure Keir Starmer and his cabinet will take good notice of this report and do something about...

Yeah, no. Given how his cabinet have handled this whole "digital independence" thing so far, I wouldn't make any bets on them actually listening.
