When will Palantir just fall off man Do humans actually still support them?

They have the support of the child rapists in the Epstein class.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago

They are members of that class, though not all are child rapists. Some are something else equally evil.

I was particularly disgusted when I realized that the project called Gotham was being used in the wars in the Middle East. Until now, I was among those who believed that artificial intelligence would benefit humanity. However, my hope is gradually weakening. Aside from generating more profit, strengthening the power of monarchies, and benefiting monopolies, I haven't yet seen any aspect of it that touches people's lives.

A business with incentives to lie and zero consequences for lying, says something about business.

This is not news.

Homeboy might be more credible without that fucked-up haircut. Seriously, are you that disconnected from the world of normal people that you can look in the mirror with that ‘do, consider it critically, and say, “yeah, that’s just what I’m going for"

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The haircut unironically gives him credibility in the eyes of investors. That's how out of touch big money is

"He's eccentric! A visionary!" —Rich assholes, probably

I hate that he is actually right about this. SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce are general one size fits none solutions. Your going to spend a fuck ton of menu integrating these platforms into your work flow. Then spend more money maintaining the platform and on licenses. A janky home grown solution is better in a lot of cases

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No not really. With sap you get enterprise support response, a massive pool of specialists to hire from and a base that makes it easy to build exactly to your needs. If your business is good it doesnt matter that you spend more on sap because at the end of the day it gets out of the way and let's you focus on your business.

I dont see many businesses that want to build their own solution and maintain it.

I have seen so many shit show implementations and good money being thrown at bad. And so often all they needed was a simple script to calculate commissions or send a document to next person in the approval chain.
