The Army said in a press release that the four executives are Shyam Sankar, CTO at Palantir; Andrew Bosworth, CTO at Meta; Kevin Weil, Chief Product Officer of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, an advisor at Thinking Machines Lab and former Chief Research Officer for OpenAI.
The four men are being commissioned at the high rank of lieutenant colonel as part of a program called Detachment 201: The Army’s Executive Innovation Corps.

This feels like cosplay + “you could just do …” energy that will undoubtedly funnel money straight back to these companies.
Get ready for 90-10 style reviews every month or quarter, and then these idiot tech bros being confused they can’t just fire people in the military for no goddamned reason.
I am sure they can find a reason to discharge people.
