Ex MI6 director Sir John Sawers is promoting Palantir against UK interests and Epstein associate Lord Mandelson does the same [1].

Selling out the UK apparently gives you knighthoods and lordships.

[1] Palantir was incubated by In-Q-Tel under the auspices of Alan Wade, who was co-founder of Christine Maxwell's (sister of Ghislaine) Chiliad. Chiliad was a data analytics company used in the FBI after 9/11. Thiel had many Epstein contacts and invested with Ehud Barak.

Like so many others, instead of questioning their own (or AI) output, they help their AI overlords by promoting security scans.

Fact is that Mythos found only one issue in curl and nothing at all in most code bases. It is getting quiet around Mythos, and the AI companies will move on to the next scam.
