> they might intentionally sabotage US military operations

Yes, this is why the DoW won’t use them.

The name has not been legally changed. The law still says it is the department of defense, regardless of what name they choose to use.

As I said elsewhere, it's utterly preposterous that the DOD actually considers this a reasonable threat, because it's simply not a reasonable possibility. There's no way Anthropic would do that, precisely because of the consequences that would follow if they did, and got found out. Moreover, they already clearly stated their terms and preferences. It's all out of the open. There's no supply chain risk, that designation is purely political.
