Everybody wants to get in on that US military money. They probably saw how haphazardly the US sends billions of dollars to Israel for genocide and wondered how they could get an endless faucet of cash for themselves.
Oh, it didn’t take Israel for the venture capitalists among them to want to harvest defense money. AI support has always had a contingent that intends to use it for military purposes. Same with remote vehicles. Same with robots. Same with, well, pretty much every advance in science - chemical agents, biological agents, lasers, space, nuclear power. Practically anything we create has a military use if you’re morally bankrupt or thirsty for power or money. Nearly every project starts out with “to serve mankind” as its goal.

One hundred percent. Part of why I ditched Spotify was because of the CEO investing in military AI. That was quite a while ago now.
