Comment on Anthropic says it ‘cannot in good conscience’ allow Pentagon to remove AI checks

Calling it the Department of War, like calling the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, is a form of giving in to the administration. That is what I am objecting to.

Who fucking cares? Genuinely. Who the absolute fuck cares if he changes the name of a genocidal monstrosity of an organization? On top of that, why the fuck should anyone respect the US legal authority at all? “Gulf of America” is a problem but not “The Grand Canyon” or “Mount Rushmore?” I wonder why you’d draw that line specifically.
You are mad that the empire doesn’t match the aesthetics of some purported morality, it’s spineless. It has always been evil, if “Gulf of America” or “Department of War” is the only point where you even consider the misuse of this “authority,” you’ve been dangerously ignorant until now.

I am a simple man: I see a fascist attempt to impose his will on the rest of us, I oppose it.
