After Anthropic refused flat out to agree to apply Claude AI to autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens, OpenAI jumps right into bed with the United States Department of War.
The Department of War isn’t a real thing. Its called The Department of Defense. That’s not my opinion either, its officially/legally called The Department of Defense.
Only Congress can change the name of the Department of Defense, and not only has it not passed any legislation to do so, but the most National Defense Authorization Act, which was passed after Trump’s executive order, only mentions the “Department of Defense” and never the “Department of War”.
So, no, there is not officially a Department of War, there continues to only officially be a Department of Defense.

Department of War is more apt, however
I think you missed some news. There is officially a Department of War again.
Only Congress can change the name of the Department of Defense, and not only has it not passed any legislation to do so, but the most National Defense Authorization Act, which was passed after Trump’s executive order, only mentions the “Department of Defense” and never the “Department of War”.
So, no, there is not officially a Department of War, there continues to only officially be a Department of Defense.
From DoD tu dud real quick

The fact that the Trump administration can create web sites saying whatever it pleases does not make the name change legitimate.
You’re right. I researched it, and it was just changed 6 months ago by Trump, who claimed the new name “sends a message of victory”
