I can't help but highlight the problem that is created by the renaming of the Deptartment of Defense to the Department of War:

> importance of using AI to defend the United States

> Anthropic has therefore worked proactively to deploy our models to the Department of War

So you believe in helping to defend the United States, but you gave the models to the Department of War - explicitly, a government arm now named as inclusive of a actions of a pure offensive capability with no defensive element.

You don't have to argue that you are not supporting the defense of the US by declining to engage with the Department of War. That should be the end of the discussion here.

it hasnt actually been renamed though.

the name is still the department of defence by law. department of war is a subheading tagline
