Silicon Valley's Military Nexus

This chapter explores the deepening connections between Silicon Valley tech companies like Palantir and OpenAI and the U.S. military, challenging the myth of tech’s aversion to military collaboration. It discusses the significant implications of high-ranking tech executives integrating into military roles, the use of AI in warfare, and the potential erosion of human oversight. Furthermore, it raises concerns about the impact of this alliance on democracy, civil liberties, and the increasingly blurred lines between corporate and state power.
