PALO ALTO, CA – Caitlin Kalinowski, who recently departed OpenAI citing “principle” over the company’s new Pentagon deal, has reportedly accepted a senior role at a leading defense contractor, according to internal memos leaked this morning. The move, described by Kalinowski’s former colleagues as a “swift and principled pivot,” comes less than a week after her public resignation.
“This isn’t about the money, or the significantly better 401k match, or the on-site artisanal coffee bar,” stated a source close to Kalinowski, who asked to remain anonymous while polishing their own resume. “It’s about ensuring AI is used responsibly. And frankly, the snack selection at her new employer, ‘OmniCorp Armaments & Data Solutions,’ is far more responsible than OpenAI’s sad, stale granola bars.”
OmniCorp, a firm known for its groundbreaking work in autonomous weapon systems and predictive battlefield analytics, welcomed Kalinowski’s ethical stance. “We deeply respect Ms. Kalinowski’s commitment to principle,” said OmniCorp spokesperson, General (Ret.) Brock Hardtack. “Here, she’ll have the resources to ensure AI is deployed with the utmost care, precision, and, most importantly, access to a wider variety of gluten-free options.”
Kalinowski’s departure from OpenAI was initially hailed by some as a moral stand against the militarization of artificial intelligence. Her new role, however, suggests her principles are highly adaptable, especially when confronted with premium cold brew and a comprehensive dental plan. Industry analysts are now speculating on which other tech giants might be forced to upgrade their breakroom amenities to retain ethically sensitive talent.
