Nothing new here - just PR spinning. Tech companies have always been deeply embedded with the military industrial complex, they just used to be quieter about it.<p>JEDI ($10B AWS/Pentagon), Project Maven (Google/DOD), Microsoft's AR headsets ($21.9B)... these aren't ancient history. The only difference now is they're bragging about it instead of trying to bury the press releases on holiday weekends.<p>Companies aren't suddenly "embracing military tech" - they're just dropping the "don't be evil" pretense. The revolving door between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon never stopped spinning, we're just seeing it operate in broad daylight now.<p>The article treats this as some dramatic shift, but it's really just marketing departments pivoting from "we make the world a better place" to "yes, we do defense contracts, deal with it." The underlying relationships haven't changed - just the messaging.
