Episode Synopsis

Before Silicon Valley built social networks, it built weapons. This episode unpacks the forgotten alliance between the U.S. military and Big Tech — from DARPA’s Cold War breakthroughs to today’s AI-powered battlefield. We explore why companies like Meta and Palantir are reuniting with the Pentagon, and how China’s lead in drone technology is reshaping modern warfare. The tech-military partnership is back, and the future of national security may depend on it.This video is for informational purposes only and reflects the views of the host and guest, not Public Holdings or its subsidiaries.
