Palantir, the company named for the dangerous seeing-stones that tended to mislead their users, has announced a partnership with Microsoft to deliver services for classified networks in US defense and intelligence agencies.
“This is a first-of-its-kind, integrated suite of technology that will allow critical national security missions to operationalize Microsoft’s best-in-class large language models (LLMs) via Azure OpenAI Service within Palantir’s AI Platforms (AIP) in Microsoft’s government and classified cloud environments,” the announcement says.
Palantir is a data-analysis company that sucks down huge amounts of personal data to assist governments and companies with surveillance. It is somewhat unclear from the text of the announcement what services Palantir and Microsoft will offer. What we do know is that Microsoft’s Azure cloud services will integrate Palantir products. Previously, Azure incorporated OpenAI’s Chat-GPT4 into a “top secret” version of its software.

the CIA can use LLMs now, that's it. I suspect this will decrease the number of whistleblowers like Sibel Edmonds, who was a translator for the feds and said that every single incident of terrorism in China was planned by them. btw, translation of chinese by LLMs is still trash
Whew, that’s a whole lotta words to say absolutely nothing
I think I got a bazinga bingo
Non musk lingo translation: US govt. can use more compute using the Palantir corporations server racks and this is supposedly better than all the other companies.
