I would have thought for sure any such transformation would come from the NSA, since they strike me as a more tech-forward organization, or from In-Q-Tel (which I believe is mostly the CIA) that already has a strong relationship with the commercial tech space

> The four new Army Reserve Lt. Cols. are Shyam Sankar, Chief Technology Officer for Palantir; Andrew Bosworth, Chief Technology Officer of Meta; Kevin Weil, Chief Product Officer of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, advisor at Thinking Machines Lab and former Chief Research Officer for OpenAI.

I've always said that the FUD surrounding AGI destroying humanity is silly, as long as we aren't so stupid as to bring AI into military decisions. This group of leaders doesn't bode well from that perspective.
