I understand why Anthropic used the name “Department of War” in their public communication. They want to be friendly to the people who like that name. But what the heck is it doing in an official court document? That’s not the entity’s legal name. It would be like if I sued IBM and named them “Big Blue” in my suit.

- nutjob2 7mo agoMaybe Judge Lin thinks the name used is irrelevant and doesn't want to distract from the relevant parts of the judgement. Or it may be the convention of using the name that the plaintiff or defendant has given themselves.

- wat10000 7mo agoThe legal name can only be changed by Congress. An executive order doesn’t override that.
- halJordan 7mo agoI don't understand what you don't understand. Congress has legislated that the departments may establish monikers. The dod established a moniker. It's an official and legal second name. It's fine to use the moniker.
- wat10000 7mo agoFirst I've heard of it. I can't find anything backing that up, can you provide a link or name the law?
