What are the implications when military operations become reliant on proprietary technologies owned by private corporations? Sharon Weinberger, the newly appointed editor-in-chief of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, joined the studio to discuss her recent book, Valley of Death: How Big Tech Is Fueling the Future of War. Weinberger examines the escalating tensions between the Pentagon and major tech players like SpaceX and Anthropic, arguing that the rift between the technology sector and the military is driven more by economic interests than ideological differences. Furthermore, she explores how a burgeoning class of specialized firms is positioned to evolve into the next generation of major defense contractors.
