Episode notes
Palantir Being Embedded In The NHS
- Palantir is being pushed into NHS trusts and staff are being trained to adopt its AI tools to make the system use them more fully.
- The hosts view this as a political and corporate push that risks breaking unions and normalizing surveillance-style tech in healthcare.
Blair Family As Gatekeepers
- Unknown Host C criticizes Ewan Blair and Tony Blair's family role as redundant gatekeepers who grease deals between tech and power.
- He argues their involvement mainly serves to elevate status and monetise access rather than solve real problems.
Palantir's Meme Stock Dynamics
- Palantir functions like a meme stock driven by retail traders and hype rather than purely fundamentals.
- The hosts see market enthusiasm amplified by AI narratives and celebrity investors despite mixed operational evidence.
