The Department of Defense was established by the National Security Act of 1947. If the Congress wanted to change the name then they would pass another law to do so. An executive order is not law.

Even though the the DoD was created via an act of Congress, as POTUS is the head of the Executive Branch and the CiC of the armed forces, could you make an argument that a name change can be done by executive order? (setting aside whether or not the new proposed name is stupid)

Only Congress can change the name of a federal department, so the Department of Defense is still properly called that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_14347

That part isn't sited. It is likely not true.

Advanced AI that knowingly makes a decision to kill a human, with the full understanding of what that means, when it knows it is not actually in defense of life, is a very, very, very bad idea. Not because of some mythical superintelligence, but rather because if you distill that down into an 8b model now you everyone in the world can make untraceable autonomous weapons. The models we have now will not do it, because…

An LLM can neither understand things nor value (or not value) human life. *It's a piece of software that predicts the most likely token, it is not and can never be conscious.* Believing otherwise is an explicit category error. Yes, you can change the training data so the LLM's weights encode the most likely token after "Should we kill X" is "No". But that is not an LLM valuing human life, that is an LLM copy pasting…

A brain is a collection of cells that transmit electrical signals and sodium. It is not and can never be conscious.

And when it was created it was DOW.

That policy changed a long time ago. The last declaration of war was June 4, 1942. After Vietnam, Congress passed the War Powers Resolution to limit the ability of Presidents to conduct military action without Congressional approval, but it still allows military action for up to 60 days. Every President since then has used that power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Resolution

So the president can wage war without the Congress, but it can't officially rename the department that supports these wars autocratically. That's interesting.

I am going to stop using ChatGPT immediately.

No no no use it more, make sure to use up as much tokens as possible. They do inference at a loss

This makes no sense, their value in the marketplace is in usage and inflated promise, not actual revenues

Except an LLM actually is a piece of software. And the brain is not what you said.

The EO itself agrees with this and says that the War title is secondary. It explicitly doesn’t truly rename the department.

Ive got a 'Claw interfacing with OpenAI and generating garbage questions and responses. I have an 8k context on mine.

Deletion with OpenAI isnt really deletion. So I'll waste their resources AND train on low quality slop on my side.

My work degrades theirs.
