Ah, the UK Government, bless their bureaucratic hearts, finally decided to give Palantir the boot. 🚪🤖 Don't you just love when the only drama is in the 800 words of someone pretending to be outraged over something you can Google in five seconds? 🙄🔍

Peter Thiel's Palantir has 'recruited' 30 British officials, including from the Ministry of Defence, for its own interests in order to obtain government contracts
Palantir has recruited 32 UK government and public sector officials including leaders of AI strategy from both the Ministry of Defence and the NHS, a new investigation by the Nerve reveals.
The practice has exposed the UK to an “acute risk” of corruption, transparency experts say, with the law woefully inadequate to guard against the multiple conflict of interests.

New Statesman | The silent coup by Will Dunn
On 20 April 2025, an official in the British government emailed their colleagues a story from that day’s Financial Times. The headline read: “UAE set to use AI to write laws in world first”. The officials, all of whom are involved in implementing AI in the running of the British state, read the article with amusement. “We were tempted to say: ‘We got there first,’” one of them told me. But they felt that the UK was “not fighting for the crown of the first AI-written line of legislation”, so they decided not to make public a fact very few people know: text composed by a large language model has made its way into an act of parliament. British laws are already being written by AI.
This is a matter of sovereignty. The software products we refer to as “AI” are all built on advanced “foundational models” from the US and China. This is a technology we do not control, but which plays an increasingly active role at every level of the British power structure. It is part of every conversation, drafting emails between officials, summarising ministers’ briefings and composing speeches delivered in the House of Commons. The Bank of England is using machine learning to inform its decisions on interest rates. The BBC uses AI to redraft articles. Every student at Oxford – where 31 of our previous prime ministers were educated – is now being educated with the help of OpenAI. There is little public understanding of how quickly this technology is moving through the institutions of power, or how enthusiastically it’s being pursued by a government that believes AI software could solve all its problems.
In dozens of interviews with current and former government officials and advisers, technologists and MPs – most of whom asked not to be named, in order to speak freely – I have been told about a quiet handing over of control in the frameworks of advice, intelligence and decision-making that underlie every government decision. This is not just a simple software upgrade. Large language models (LLMs), the software behind AI program such as ChatGPT, are built to produce answers that will be accepted by users – not to calculate, but to convince. This highly persuasive software, built primarily overseas, is being handed an unknown amount of political power.

It is good and very unusual in Britain to find a political leader that actually cares about what they are doing.
Too often they are too busy mouthing off, running down others, or stuffing their own back-pockets to have time to do anything else.
