@SamCoatesSky If a digital ID system worked (not saying it can/could/should), do you think Palantir would get more or less work?

Wow. Wow. Palantir refuses take part in digital ID programme. Its UK head says Digital ID doesn’t have a mandate (so presumably they worry it will be cancelled, so if they do it they risk wasting if it’s cancelled) He also says the technical feasibility is questionable too.
Times Radio@TimesRadio

“It's a programme that needs to be decided at the ballot box, not in the company boardroom.” The government’s digital ID programme lacks a "clear public mandate" and Palantir “will not be participating,” says the company's UK head @LouisMosley.

Probably not a hugely popular comment, but if you ask me questions I will give honest answers. I'm speaking in Cardiff on Wednesday by the way.

What a week. Cracking open a beer and going to finish a blogpost about central/local data and read the 10 year infrastructure strategy, as inconsiderately @thomasforth hasn’t been on a long train journey with beer in the last few days to summarise it for me.

(New) New Towns are pure nerdgasm for me. Learning from my Thames Gateway days and getting excited about the potential opportunities for focusing cross-gov digital activity. Also a nice way to get people excited about the long term vision. Some words...tpximpact.com/knowledge-hub/…

Great to see the coverage work of the planning data team esp @psd at MHCLG and the incubator for ai gov.uk/government/n... worth noting that this kind of work is only possible with well designed data standards and human focused content-designed guidance to guide the ai.

This comment piece in @insidehousing is one of those rather muddled and mealy-mouthed attempts to defend the indefensible (in this case, the private land value capture sector) insidehousing.co.uk/comment/streng… Here’s a 🧵 to translate and unpack some of its sillier lines

More positive pro-growth noises today in terms of cracking down on spurious JR but still dealing with the ‘shit out’ problem. Our antiquated system of opaque planning processes and rules provides far too many footholds for ‘spurious’ challenges.

Yup it’s AI hype week so why not join in. I have fears but also some optimisim that it could help level the playing field - btwn experts and citizens and councils and planning consultants - but it needs government to fix the data and make rules clearer planningresource.co.uk/article/1902...
