“After Medicaid officials improperly shared data about millions of people in January with immigration officials, ICE then shared that data with the data analytics firm Palantir, according to new court filings.”

ICE shared Medicaid data it wasn't supposed to have with Palantir
The revelations came out in a federal court case brought by Democratic states challenging ICE's access to Medicaid data to aid in deportation efforts.

The AI industry is prone to massive, frequent, and intensifying narrative mood swings. Part of this is typical of a boom. But I think it's also intrinsic to the tech itself nymag.com/intelligence...
There are plenty of reasons for this pattern. We're going through a massive investment cycle in a new technology, which understandably produces questions about bubbles, polarizes the economic discourse, and invites trader-brained, boom-or-bust interpretations of new developments. The economic stakes are now unavoidably high, and whatever happens is genuinely everyone's problem. Relatedly, while there's plenty of coverage of Al that tracks and contributes to these swings, the dominant mood of the industry - up to and including the communicative styles of AI CEOs
— is substantially determined in the tech hothouse of
X, where it's happening and nothing ever happens appear to be the only available positions, or at least the only ones that get engagement. At the same time, fears of job loss, talk of automation, the visibility of obvious externalities like slop content and cheating in school, and emerging worries about data-center construction have given tech's latest investment cycle an unusually powerful ethical and political dimension and turned the potential success or failure of the broadly defined object of AI into mainstream rooting interests.For one, despite its obsession with forecasts and timelines, this is an industry without a good predictive theory of what its product will soon be good at. It wouldn't be unfair to say that the industry's actual approach to figuring out where things are going is to train a model and see, which gives AI researchers, and their companies, a genuinely unusual relationship to their products: They're building them, sure, but they experience their actual capabilities
- like a sudden aptitude for advanced math after a long stretch of profound innumeracy — as something similar to discoveries. This was clear in the way that Anthropic talked about the cybersecurity capabilities of Mythos as a strange, emergent phenomenon of training general-purpose models. (Contrast that with the development cycle in the nearby and similarly high-stakes semiconductor industry, for example, where swings in sentiment are comparatively mild or at least further apart.)
