If I could nominate someone for the "well said" of the year.

Never thought of that angle but it doesn’t seem far off.

I'm so incredibly disappointed that my country, specifically the .si registry and everyone up the chain, is complicit in this :(

The correct term is whatever the President says, if you wish your M&A aspirations to proceed unimpeded.

(Even then a donation to the ballroom will cover any incidents where members of your board slip up and forget their good intentions)

The correct term is "chatbot" in most cases. I've witnessed people make dumb decisions somewhat blindly because "AI" recommended it. If they had called it a chatbot maybe some skepticism would have kicked in.

This is just the beginning. It may be a matter of months or even days before "quantum super intelligence" reaches the public consciousness.

Ultra High Speed 4.0 Intelligence.

Trump thinks "artificial" means "fake". He is obsessed with real vs fake: fake news, realDonaldTrump.

How long before colleges still using "artificial intelligence" are threatened with defunding?

"ASI" (artificial super-intelligence) has been a term for decades.

I see people just skip over the part where "intelligence" is uncomfortably difficult to define and may not be a generally coherent concept to begin with.

Just wait until the USB-IF starts naming it…

But, in the end, everything Trump touches turns to shit. This will not be an exception.

Indeed, makes Idiocracy look like a documentary.

Cringe, yes. Trophy awarded.

ICE is still getting started. So, USA will be in the running to compete with Nazi Germany and North Korea, etc.

Proof that our administration fails to understand the technology at a fundamental level.

Just wait until super-duper intelligence

This is exactly what it is for. Fascism deploys hypocrisy very deliberately for exactly this reason. If you conform, it's a signal you will continue to conform to the admins policies. Push it until it's silly. People willing to look the fool, but remain loyal, are valuable to the admin.

They do this (at least at first) to pull people out of their staff who would slow them down or fight them. Then they expand the scope, where they hope to reach the entire population.

That explains, not just this, but many other things - the absurd, indefensible statements that are still defended, the court cases, the denial of election losses, and probably more that don't come to mind after five seconds of thought.

This is also close to the authoritarian "make people say absurd things as a demonstration of power over them" playbook.

It gave me a headache.

He should have called it America Intelligence (AI), no need to change the acronym.

Gotta commit to the bit.

Our country is now a "bit," one that unfortunately kills people. This timeline sucks.

> While I wait for my mail in ballot to be delivered

What state / city are you in?

Mine arrived more than a week ago.

How did we end up here. Even Super Cringe can't possibly describe this administration and this unhinged con man and the money behind him who have been granted excessive powers by an irresponsible Supreme Court and are enshitifying everything about our nation. Super Intelligence.

This vote is critical.

Guess I've signed up to be THE ENEMY, then.

> has also declared anyone who doesn’t call it super intelligence to be THE ENEMY, in all caps.

Ain’t that what the so-called woke pussies do? Inventing words and declaring all who won’t adopt them enemies?

Oh how the turntables turn…

> who has already ben impeached for one visible and overt coup attempt,

Don't "overt" and "visible" mean the same thing in this context?

AFI, American Freedom Intelligence. Mark my words, dumb people will use that, soon, since ASI/SI is actually the same term by just lazily leaving of a redundant part of the term.

Super Theoretical Intelligence. It's contagious.

Works on my mobile

Works on my machine

This time the borders are open and if the US does not compete, it will be out-competed.

Conflicts are most often won not by the stronger side, but by the side which recognises first that the conflict exists.

Or the Gulf Of Mexico.

The question isn't whether you will, it's which corporations jump on this. Google jumped on Gulf of America and Lake America. Will they now start calling Gemini an SI model?

Crashed my machine. (Annoying as I was distraction browsing while waiting for a model training). Maybe that's a feature for Non-US people.

Kinda feels like the X/Twitter one. When someone uses the new term you learn something about them

We still call it "machine learning"

Prediction: One or two big companies will use it for reasons of scoring political points with the administration. Everyone else will ignore it and mock those who use it.

As for me: Like it or not, Trump is my president. He's not my dictator, and he's not my technical dictionary. I'll use what terms I like. He doesn't get to tell me which terms to use (the First Amendment is on my side in this one.)

And I consider AI to be both more accurate and more established than SI, so I'll call it AI. And, as I said, I suspect that most people will do the same.

They aren't LARPing, they really are idiots.

They're aiming for more stupidity that Idiocracy as their president (in Idiocracy) realised that asking the "most intelligent" person to help solve their problems was a good idea.

Click it too!

Feels like sunk cost fallacy. Clearly US is so far behind in human facing concerns so might as well not waste any more of the precious resources. Let’s just double down on investing in the prosperity few rich armed with super intelligent robots and maybe they’ll solve the problem by accelerating the pace of making the rest of the world so much worse that this comparison is over once and for all.

Isn't USA pretty average compared to the rest of the developed world?

Does this depend on the state you live in? A K-12 education in Massachusetts is different from K-12 education in Alabama to me. Although I am guessing this is an overall statement about the US.

Calling it to super intelligence is a commitment to never fix K12 education.

Why bother educating people when a "super intelligence" exists to do all the thinking? "Artificial" intelligence, sure, it's artificial not the real thing, so we still need people. But "super" intelligence? That language puts it above human intelligence, and intentionally diminishes humanity with their mere normal intelligence.

(FWIW putting a dilettante and then wrestling mogul in charge of the Department of Education and gutting it was also a commitment to never fix K12 education, so this is not new)

Why would a billionaire do that, though.

Hah, I came here to say the same thing. Let’s get to regular boring intelligence before we start talking about super intelligence.

What?! And raise revolutionaries!? That's crazy talk.

Why? If SI is going to take over everything, wouldn't a well-informed human population just get in the way? /s

Nothing like trying to read text and you have tons of meaningless animations that are distracting your attention.

Joe needs to stop vibecoding so much.

You need an easy way to identify loyalists and language is perfect for this. Just one term won't be enough, though.

That's SC. Close.

More like super moronism.

It's sad to me that the entire canon of "brilliant moves" available to business people are essentially strategies for designing dystopian outcomes at a massive scale. This is probably not fully the case, but disproportionately this seems to be what is called "brilliant" in that field

Your kink is... not OK...

Hear, hear!

The ability to create models based on observations and then use those models to make predictions.

The ability to process information, draw conclusions, and choose a course of action to achieve a goal.

I'm proud to claim that I wrote that before the idea of "agents" was invented.

an engineered concept

It's narcissism. The missing ingredient is narcissism.

Understand that and a lot of the behavior of this administration makes sense.

Best comment by a mile, I mean a light-year, I mean a petameter

For those going with the satire, recall the original French: "Système international d'unités".

At least one positive outcome from this administration :)

Yes, and by "superintelligence", they mean something smarter than all humans in all or nearly all ways, and capable of making itself even smarter until it reaches physical limits.

They do not mean "any LLM chatbot"

Its cool, but too many distracting things which makes it a bit difficult to read. Specifically the bounce effect, is a bit disorienting to view on a large screen.

> If we rush too far ahead in the first race, we face disaster. That's why so many people working at the leading American companies signed the pacing the frontier letter.

They're after regulatory capture, disadvantaging competition.

OpenAI and Anthropic have collectively spent tens of billions of dollars, with their annual burn rates climbing rapidly, for something that increasingly commoditized at the non-frontier (i.e. MOST) applications.

That doesn't mean there aren't ALSO people who are worried that we will kills ourselves with AI, but they are in the minority.
