The Joint Commission for Healthcare Accreditation chose Palantir for an Artificial Intelligence partnership. The announcement came in May and the Joint Commission's CEO cited Palantir's
“Palantir’s emerging leadership in healthcare transformation"Recent comments by Palantir CEO Alex Karp raise serious questions as the type of leadership provided by the Joint Commission's new supplier. Alex may not be a self administering drug addled TechGod, but he does want to spray opioid laced bodily fluids on people doing their job as financial analysts. At least he said those words on CNBC.
Fellow TechGod and Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale recently called out healthcare cartels at the Reagan Library. Joe seemed pretty hyped up in the interview. Lots of caffeine or some TechGod self medicating?
He wrote on X in February
Most hospitals are corrupt, backwards cartels & local monopolies, with state lobbying arms to keep out competition or threatening innovation.
They often have talented staff (talented surgeons, some other great doctors & nurses), but often cynical or disgruntled administrators.
Another X post had Lonsdale's prescription for healthcare.
aggressive deregulation to allow innovation & competition, forcing EHRs to let patients port data to apps, and FTC breaking up local monopolies and PBM cartels.How would one force EHRs to do anything without regulation? Wouldn't breaking up hospital systems also be a regulatory intervention?
Joe wants the government to change market structure so his companies can win. Lonsdale wants healthcare to become software. Medicine is like intellectual property rights in AI, something to be steamrolled or worked around.
Healthcare as medicine needs people to do the work. Healthcare as software does not. The Joint Commission picked a snake supplier, one with endless venom. I expected better.
