OpenAI Hires Ex-Army Secretary Dan Driscoll

OpenAI announced Monday that former Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is coming aboard as a senior counselor, a job built around national security modernization. The Washington Examiner says the hire came over two months after he left the Pentagon, and it floats speculation that he disagreed with War Secretary Pete Hegseth. Speculation is a book report with no sources. OpenAI already has a War Department contract to put ChatGPT on GenAI.mil, so the revolving door now comes with a server rack. Driscoll told the Examiner, "The people who serve deserve the very best tools we can put in their hands." Hard to argue with that, and Washington has never lost a debate to a sentence that sounds that good.
