Hello and welcome to Tech Minute. Silicon Valley’s biggest names are trading code for camo, as chief technology officers from Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI take part-time roles in the U.S. Army Reserve. Back in October, the Defense Department “put out the call to top Silicon Valley talent” for high-ranking positions, ready to tap them “for short-term projects in areas like data and cybersecurity.” Now, eight months later, the first cohort has officially signed up. Meta’s Andrew Bosworth and Palantir’s Shyam Sankar will join OpenAI’s Kevin Weil and Bob McGrew in uniform. These tech leaders will juggle startup life with military duties, bringing cutting-edge expertise to national defense. It’s a bold partnership—Silicon Valley innovation meets Army Reserve mission readiness. Stay tuned as we follow how this new reserve unit reshapes both military tech and startup culture. Thanks for listening—see you next time on Tech Minute!
