IBM, Palantir Forge Partnership In Low-Code AI Data Processing Space 14
IBM and Palantir have announced a partnership to merge hybrid cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), data processing, and operational technology in a new enterprise offering. ZDNet reports: On Monday, the companies said the new solution, Palantir for IBM Cloud Pak for Data, will "simplify how businesses build and deploy AI-infused applications with IBM Watson and help users access, analyze, and take action on the vast amounts of data that is scattered across hybrid cloud environments without the need for deep technical skills." Palantir for IBM Cloud Pak for Data brings together Palantir Foundry, a data integration and analysis platform, and IBM Cloud Pak for Data services, including IBM Watson.
The new enterprise product has been built to reduce data silos and cut out the technical expertise generally required to make use of AI analysis. According to IBM, the offering will be a "no/low-code" platform for deploying AI applications able to process data effectively and quickly, "extend[ing] existing enterprise systems and accelerate their digital transformation." As part of the partnership, Palantir is adopting Red Hat OpenShift for improved technological compatibility in hybrid cloud environments. Palantir for IBM Cloud Pak for Data is expected to be generally availabile in March 2021.

Problem is, they could only acquire one Palantir - and it's the Minas Ithil stone. So while they keep trying to use it, all they see are old hands - withering as they're consumed by fire...

"Low code" is usually a buzzword for heavy lock-in to a highly integrated proprietary tool, or something only a PHB could love.

On my job I was once asked to start using a low-code solution called Blue Prism, or look into another one called UIPath. I didn't go very far with it - I found it took a LOT longer to create the flow charts through the GUI interface than it did to simply write a script in powershell. For the money, I think you would do better by training your staff in a dynamic scripting language like python or powershell. Not only is the development time shorter, but the end result ends up being a lot more scalable. That i

"infused", that's new MBA-ism to me. Sounds like an orthodontic procedure, not something you normally look forward to.

Nah. Infusions are trending. Infused vodkas, infused whiskeys, infused coffees. Some of them are good (cocoa infused coffee, yes), some of them are horrendous (blueberry infused whiskey, eesh), but they're such a trend in some circles I'm surprised it took this long to make its way into market-speak for tech.

Palantir is a perfect match for IBM [wikipedia.org], as their president knew he was willfully participating in the holocaust [huffpost.com] by producing machines and punch cards to use for concentration camp management.
