I hate that he is actually right about this. SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce are general one size fits none solutions. Your going to spend a fuck ton of menu integrating these platforms into your work flow. Then spend more money maintaining the platform and on licenses. A janky home grown solution is better in a lot of cases

No not really. With sap you get enterprise support response, a massive pool of specialists to hire from and a base that makes it easy to build exactly to your needs. If your business is good it doesnt matter that you spend more on sap because at the end of the day it gets out of the way and let's you focus on your business.

I dont see many businesses that want to build their own solution and maintain it.

When will Palantir just fall off man Do humans actually still support them?

They have the support of the child rapists in the Epstein class.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

They are members of that class, though not all are child rapists. Some are something else equally evil.

I was particularly disgusted when I realized that the project called Gotham was being used in the wars in the Middle East. Until now, I was among those who believed that artificial intelligence would benefit humanity. However, my hope is gradually weakening. Aside from generating more profit, strengthening the power of monarchies, and benefiting monopolies, I haven't yet seen any aspect of it that touches people's lives.

A business with incentives to lie and zero consequences for lying, says something about business.

This is not news.

Homeboy might be more credible without that fucked-up haircut. Seriously, are you that disconnected from the world of normal people that you can look in the mirror with that ‘do, consider it critically, and say, “yeah, that’s just what I’m going for"

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The haircut unironically gives him credibility in the eyes of investors. That's how out of touch big money is
