U.S. Tech executives joined the U.S. Army Reserves and were installed as lieutenant colonels in the newly established Detachment 201, an Executive Innovation Corps. Weren't executives already working on behalf of the military via direct government contracts? Doesn't the military already have a Defense Innovation Board?
The first members of this new elite unit include:
- Shyam Sankar, Palantir’s chief technology officer
- Andrew Bosworth, chief technology officer of Meta
- Kevin Weil, OpenAI’s chief product officer
- Bob McGrew, an advisor at Thinking Machines Lab & former chief research officer for OpenAI
The words "oracle", "breaking defense" and "detachment" seem a perfect fit for this cataclysmic moment.
The wholesale, unrestrained government embrace of AI charges ahead on all fronts with no consideration of how people are supposed to make money and support themselves in this bizarre future.
There's always the AI Emergency Air Corp where human soldiers rush out on the battlefield to save downed drones or some future politicians digital hairpiece. Between those rushes of adrenaline human soldiers can ingest AI porn, fall "in love" with their time-limited AI chatbot and bet digitally until their hearts are discontent.
