Given that OpenAI is working with and doing business with the US military, it makes perfect sense that they would try to normalize militaristic usage of their technologies. Everybody already knows they're doing it, so now they just need to keep talking about it as something increasingly normal. Promoting usages that are only sort of military is a way of soft-pedaling this change.
If something is banal enough to be used as an ordinary example in a press release, then obviously anybody opposed to it must be an out-of-touch weirdo, right?
But considering current circumstances, not sure how right my initial interpretation was.
The timing of talking about this topic does feel pretty strange I'd say as well as the GP comment noted?
And even if it was intentional, it's of little consequence.
In short supply on that side of the Atlantic these days it seems.
