Well the techno-fascism is complete.

This is god awful:

Top tech leaders from Meta (META), OpenAI, and Palantir (PLTR)are joining the Army Reserve as lieutenant colonels in a new unit called the “Executive Innovation Corps,” known as Detachment 201, the Army announced Friday. The unit is part of a push to bring Silicon Valley expertise into the military. Among those being sworn in are Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth, OpenAI Chief Product Officer Kevin Weil, Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar, and Bob McGrew, an advisor at Thinking Machines and former OpenAI Chief Research Officer.

Detachment 201 will let these tech leaders serve part-time as senior advisors in order to help the Army adopt advanced technologies quickly. The unit is designed to fuse cutting-edge commercial tech with military innovation, which will support projects like the Army Transformation Initiative that aims to modernize the force by using more efficient and scalable solutions. The program also allows executives to serve without leaving their day jobs, which could inspire more tech professionals to contribute in uniform.

This initiative comes as the Army works to replace outdated systems and buy more commercial tech that can serve both military and civilian needs. Indeed, Meta is already partnering with defense firm Anduril on extended reality (XR) tools for soldiers. In addition, OpenAI’s ChatGPT could be used to improve military productivity, while Palantir supplies AI-enabled hardware like the TITAN vehicle. The Army didn’t say how fast Detachment 201 will expand, but this first wave of new members points to a growing collaboration between the tech industry and the military.
 
Increasingly military is taking advatage of public sector tech infrastructure. Using private sector cloud assets was just the start, expand that to AI, social media, procurement, etc. It's a win-win for everyone. Especially so for the US taxpayer.

Do we have to pay them?
Doesn't the military already have access to the newest technology?
 
The Tech Sector has been eaten up with internal rot so much that they don't have to offer products to the populous anymore they can simply latch on to government money.

Max Blumenthal was ejected from the 2025 AI Expo in DC for daring to question Palantir's war tech motives:


Imho, the fascists are here, and some of them are much bigger threats to democracy than Donald Trump or Joe Biden.

being dependent on outside sources is not a smart military strategy


it just ain't
 
To be fair the government has had access to social media backends for a really long time now. Facebook doesn’t have any morals so it’s a good fit. Everything is computer. 🤣
 
Why not just invite Russian and Chinese software engineers in to copy all our shit?

Cut out the middleman.

This is one of the more frightening parts of the tech bros plan.

They want to use AI, mass surveillance, and automated drones to control the populace.
