I used to work for a company making data linking software with global law enforcement clients, and the sheer speed that palantir took over that sector was astonishing. From nowhere to everywhere within a year

Their software was worse than ours at the time and we were a four man development team. Probably stuffed with AI now

It's not like accuracy is especially important in that field. You just have to look like you're spending all that public money on something.

I'd say accuracy is the last thing law enforcement would want, that would mean a vastly increased workload. Better to just make up some bullshit when you want to put the boot in.

Their salary will probably amount to the total benefit fraud that actually happens

A lot of people genuinely believe those on benefits are living a life of luxury despite all evidence to the contrary. I knew someone who had been long term unemployed and still despite knowing how little money they get thought people of disability were scamming

Believe in a secret benefit system is super widespread. Not only in UK. People got their heads thoroughly steamed by the fash media (all of them)

for sure but you'd think someone who went over a year on JSA/UC would know that even if they got a bit more it'd still be gently caress all in the scheme of things. This was a guy in his late 30s who had to move back in with his parents because of it

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/04/tories-planned-to-make-millions-from-members-data-with-true-blue-app

The Guardian posted:

Senior Conservative party officials worked on plans to hand over its entire membership database for a commercial venture that promised to make tens of millions of pounds, the Guardian can reveal.

Leaked documents show Tory executives discussed exploiting members’ personal data to build a mobile phone app that could track users’ locations and allow big brands to advertise to Conservative supporters. The party would take a cut of sales.

The project was considered over several months last year, with the aim of launching the “True Blue” app in time for the party’s conference in October.

The idea was developed by the boss of a cryptocurrency firm with a string of failed businesses behind him. Yet senior Conservative officials appeared so captivated by the plan that they prepared to provide the party’s database of members in order to move the proposal forward.
