Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril, warns of a future in which China rapidly invades Taiwan, overpowering unprepared U.S. forces due to outdated defense systems and a lack of scalable military production. He highlights a troubling tech gap: “your Tesla has better AI than U.S. aircraft, your Roomba has better autonomy than most Pentagon weapons, and your Snapchat filters use better computer vision than advanced military sensors”.
