Interview: US-Militärexpertin Sharon Weinberger: „Das Pentagon ist nur noch der Kunde“
Militärexpertin Sharon Weinberger spricht über die neue Macht der Tech-Milliardäre über Amerikas Waffen, den Streit zwischen Pentagon und Anthropic – und Steve Jobs’ geheime Geschäfte mit der CIA.
Sharon Weinberger, a military and intelligence expert with a quarter-century of observation, most recently as the security reporting editor for the Wall Street Journal, has released her latest book on September 22nd titled "Valley of Death. How Big Tech Is Fueling the Future of War." The book reveals how Silicon Valley has transformed into an arms industry.
In an interview with Handelsblatt via video call from her Washington D.C. apartment at the end of August, Weinberger discussed her extensive research, which included interviewing dozens of officials, military personnel, and other insiders for her book. She also included previously unseen photographs that present many tech leaders in a different light, such as Apple co-founder Steve Jobs sitting next to a spy or Palantir CEO and Israel enthusiast Alex Karp wearing a Palestinian cloth.
Weinberger warns of a gradual shift of power to private corporations that are not subject to democratic control, and she offers a dire warning to the German government. Read the interview with Sharon Weinberger.
