I think the relationships shown are kinda superficial/obvious here. There was a different one that did this with public board members and it was way scarier.
sounded really interesting so i looked for it
is it this one you mean? https://www.visualcapitalist.com/50-largest-u-s-companies-board-members/There’s another one I’m looking for but that’s the concept
Seems lacking in details. DARPA is only connected to a few rather inconsequential things, ARPANET is mentioned for some reason but not “the Internet”. In-q-tel is entirely absent and their entire purpose is to direct funds to tech companies that have possible security, defense or military applications. They’re “legally not the CIA”. Just founded by them to be an unaccountable organization for directing US funds to potentially valuable startups. (Not conspiracy stuff, it’s from their about page.)
I feel like if your goal is to tie stuff together more meaningfully, you’re going to be better served by saying that there’s no company not connected to military interests by a shockingly short chain.
Like, chances are high that any random person has a home appliance produced by non-trivial defense contractor. As in there are multiple companies that make kitchen appliances and heavy munitions, and openly work on AI weapons platforms.
