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

Meta's CTO, Andrew Bosworth, believes the tech industry's attitude toward working with the US military is shifting positively. He stated a "silent majority" within Silicon Valley always wanted to pursue defense projects, highlighting a stronger patriotic sentiment than commonly perceived. Bosworth sees this as a return to the roots of Silicon Valley, which was initially built on military development. This renewed openness represents a "return to grace" for the industry's relationship with the US military.
