Palantir don't care about this, they will likely turn it into a massive cluster fuck and charge £2000+ per day person and extract probably billions from the tax payer.

If you ask anyone who has worked for these bastards (I have worked at several similar companies) they NEVER actually do the project correctly and there are a million different reasons why something which should be simple should take a million years.

All of these type of things can be done in the open without Palantir involved at all for next to no money.



Actually, thinking about this for a second, this is a billion dollar AI company - you could probably write a system now that can extract patterns and organise data in internal systems and automatically create a nice API, documentation, how to use it and dashboards etc. without having to do any of the work to change current systems. Anyone want to help me build this?


You underestimate the work that would be, and overestimate the ability of current-gen AI systems. The work – technical, and social – to get the data out of the existing systems and exposed via a common interface, is the hard part, and not something that anything yet called AI can do.

Once you've done that, sure, you could get ChatGPT to make dashboards, some text resembling API documentation, etc; but that's the easy part: a few hours' work from conception to production, or a few minutes' work if you only need a proof-of-concept.
