Title: Meta's Push Into Defense Tech Reflects Cultural Shift, CTO Says

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/06/05/0424...

Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth said that the "tides have turned" in Silicon Valley
and made it more palatable for the tech industry to support the US military's
efforts. From a report: There's long existed a "silent majority" who wanted
to pursue defense projects, Bosworth said during an interview at the
Bloomberg Tech summit in San Francisco on Wednesday. "There's a much stronger
patriotic underpinning than I think people give Silicon Valley credit for,"
he said. Silicon Valley was founded on military development and "there's
really a long history here that we are kind of hoping to return to, but it is
not even day one," Bosworth added. He described Silicon Valley's new openness
to work with the US military as a "return to grace."
