Open ai, the former non-profit, whose board tried to fire the CEO for being deceptive, which is no longer open at all, isn't exactly about ethics these days.
Even on a personal level: OpenAI has changed it's privacy policy twice to let them gather data on me they weren't before. A lot of steps to disable it each time, tons of dark patterns. And the data checkout just bugs out too, it's a fake feature to hide how much they are using everything you type to them
The coup against Altman looks prescient. They knew who he was.
So why would we want them setting policy for the DoD? Laws are enacted through a fundamentally democratic process defined over hundreds of years. Why wouldn’t that be the way to govern use of tools?
Why would we want to trade our constitution for, effectively, “rules Sam Altman came up with”?
Use its real name, the one orange shitler renamed it to: the department of war.
Why the fuck does the department of war get to dictate anything to a private organization?
Why does the constitution say that you have to let the government murder schoolgirls with your tools?

Accuracy. He renamed it back to what it was called originally and accurately, in 1789. "Department of Defense" is being used to manipulate the masses into thinking into a different direction.
It was mislabelled to "Department of Defense" post ww2, 1949.

He doesn’t actually have the authority to rename the department. That would be up to Congress.
A corporation, according to US law, is considered a "person" and afforded many of the same rights as an individual citizen (https://www.fincen.gov/who-united-states-person).
Even outside of the US, a corporation is widely considered to be a company of people with their own agency and rights.
A person or group of people should be able to set their own boundaries without being subjected to immoral and unjust retaliation, i.e. corporate murder (https://x.com/i/status/2027515599358730315).
Also, ask any frontier model what Pete Hegseth thinks about democracy.
