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?
> renamed it to
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.
Sure sounds like congress renamed it. Those damn masses, exercising democratic power.
Trump will put a stop to that!
Loyalty to the constitution third, loyalty to the party second, loyalty to the president first. That's the order of things in a fascist society and Trump has made very exceptionally clear that he thinks that should be the way of it in the US...
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.
