Trump decrees era of 'Super Intelligence' upon us

According to the US President, the term Artificial Intelligence (AI) is tired while "Super Intelligence" is wired. Trump has issued an executive order to compel the Federal Government to use the new name instead. The term Artificial Intelligence was introduced by American computer and cognitive scientist John McCarthy in 1956, …

Then there is real life testing in zoo's, which indicate that the end product will be an infinite amount of typewriters all clogged up in monkey shit. -From which it can be concluded that monkeys are not good random number generators.

And finally, there is our timeline.. which obviously must have been written on one of said typewriters shortly before the monkey-shit clogged up everything.

Re: The 'anything but the Epstein files' list of things just keeps getting longer

Surely we're no longer distracting from the Epstein Files. That's long forgotten. Or at least, now only vaguely remembered.

Now we're on to distracting from the disastrous war with the Iran - started with no plan and early - while the Pentagon were still moving their troops into place - they hadn't even flown in all the air defence kit for their regional bases yet. That war may-or-may-not have been started to distract from Epstein Island - but now it's the bad news story that people need to not be thinking about.

Although I've seen suggestions that in recent days/weeks the US have got their shit a bit more together, and lots of shipping is now managing to get escorted through the Straits, but I've not seen enough confirmation of that yet. Would be ironic if it's the first good news in a while and Trump hasn't loudly claimed credit for it - but then we're already on about his fifth victory and brilliantly negotiated end to the conflict - so give him time.

[Michael Strorm]

What's this got to do with the price of eggs?

> "Surely we're no longer distracting from the Epstein Files. [..] Now we're on to distracting from the disastrous war with the Iran"

You may be right, but I suspect that your average American doesn't really care about the Iran war per se, at least when it's calmed to a semi-stalemate and no longer the first item on the news.

What he's actually trying to distract from is- I suspect- the results of that for your average, insular American, i.e. the cost of living crisis the Iran war has made far worse for them.

Because the one thing- about the only thing- that *will* make them care is when the cost of filling up one of their oversized "gas guzzlers" skyrockets and hits *them* in the pocket.

Re: The 'anything but the Epstein files' list of things just keeps getting longer

It is worth noting that by now the intelligence services of every nation on the planet have an unredacted copy of the Epstein files, absolutely guaranteed.

Maybe not so super...

And in related news story: https://nationalpost.com/news/world/trump-posts-super-intelligence-document-with-u-s-spelled-as-unites-states

U.S. President Donald Trump shared an official document on Truth Social on Monday, and people have noticed a glaring spelling error.

The document, which is signed by Trump along with leaders of major tech companies including Google, Meta and Anthropic, outlines recommended “layers of controls and audits” for the use of artificial intelligence, which Trump renamed “super intelligence” with an executive order on Tuesday.

Underneath Trump’s signature, the text reads: “President Donald J. Trump, President of the Unites States.”

Here's an even better one. US delegation to a conference on HIV/AIDS put up a slide about US programs in Africa. BBC linky - to a nice map with every single country in the wrong place! Top AI work - which I guess was then OK'ed by someone with absolutely no idea of geography. Although I don't know what the excuse is for having a country with no name and Cameroon not linked to any country...

One of the "successes" of the first Trump administration was to refuse to fill a bunch of positions in the State Department bureaucracy - so government was down a whole bunch of professional diplomats - which the Biden administration struggled to replace. Not that I'm exactly sure how hard they've tried - the excuse I've heard was that people were reluctant to come back because they expected to get sacked by Trump II, but who knows? Anyway State is now seriously lacking in expertise to advise a government that really needs all the help it can get. Not that it would listen anyway of course... But I guess, like DOGE, they're staffed with enthusiastic but stupid kids with access to AI and an urge to follow the Dear Leader.

It’s got a ring to it. Sounds like "Sigh" which is what most people do when president poopy pants opens his mouth. OpenSigh sounds better than OpenAI and watching out for Rouge Sighs sounds like fun. Also need to be careful that the Chinese Sighs don't catch up. A Sigh could destroy mankind one day but I shrug at that idea.

"The question is why the sudden change?"

It's because Donald Trump is a pathological narcissist who views the "reality" of any situation purely in terms of his own opinion of it, whether or not that reflects actual reality, because he considers something to be right and important purely because it's his opinion and because this sense of importance extends to the countless short-term obsessions he has when he gets an idea in his head, at least until he forgets about it and moves onto the next one.

Or, as others have suggested, it's also highly plausible that this is yet more of the usual news-clogging distraction- specifically from the Epstein Files he's no longer so keen on releasing.

But, more importantly, it's because the people of the United States knew what sort of person he was- or had no excuse for pretending they didn't know- and saw fit to elect him for a *second* term regardless.

This is someone about as manifestly unfit to be president as one could have come up with, yet who over two thirds of eligible Americans either voted for or were indifferent enough about becoming their president to bother voting against.

That's "why".

[that one in the corner]

Re: "The question is why the sudden change?"

> It's because Donald Trump is a pathological narcissist

Nope, that one's already gone as well.

Re: "The question is why the sudden change?"

> or were indifferent enough about becoming their president to bother voting against.

Although, to my (admittedly limited) understanding of the US system, that effectively also includes everyone who voted for any third party.

As in, had the candidates been running, over half the population could have voted "Monster Raving Loony Party (US)" and instead of getting an actual Monster Raving Loony government, as would happen over here, in the Mother of Parliaments (yes, yes, Iceland, I see you waving your hand, just go with it for the moment), they just got the one raving loony monster having a party in government.

As I say, my understanding is limited, but Forrest Valkai had some choice words for anyone who voted third party...

[Michael Strorm]

Re: "The question is why the sudden change?"

> "Although, to my (admittedly limited) understanding of the US system, that effectively also includes everyone who voted for any third party."

"In effect" you may be technically correct, due to the fucked up duopoly of the US system. But to my mind there's still a gulf of difference between those who cared enough to vote for a third party candidate- people who at least deserve credit for registering a vote against Trump and trying to fix things through the ballot box- and those who sat at home and did nothing knowing there was a chance that Trump might win.

[Steve Davies 3]

Re: that effectively also includes everyone who voted for any third party

If you do not vote for the Dear Leader, King Donald 1, or one of his underlings, prepare to have your vote disqualified. Opposition is not allowed in New Trumpistan.

Sadly, I have this feeling that millions of citizens will have their vote 'go missing' thanks to the USPS silly list rule. Only registered Good Ole Boys votes will count.

Trump will proclaim massive landslides in every House Seat and Senatorial Race.

[ShadowDragon8685]

Re: "The question is why the sudden change?"

There isn't. They knew the stakes. They knew that the only options with any realistic hope of victory were Kamala Harris or Velveeta Voldemort.

They KNEW. And they still said "But I just can't bring myself to vote for the black woman with the funny name!" and voted for some idiotic third party.

AT LEAST the ones who voted the Lol-bertarian ticket or the other right-wing-y voters (including, hilariously, the ones who voted for RFK from the states where his withdrawal was too late - a withdrawal that only came after it became clear he was spoiling the RIGHT, not the left, despite the Kennedy name) were spoiling away from Trump - but anyone who voted for Jill Stein, or any of the dozen or so 'Social Whatever' parties that only pop up during Presidential elections, is as useful as the Mango Mussolini himself, and has willfully allowed their vote to be stolen by a Russian destabilization operation.

Re: "The question is why the sudden change?"

He's like the dog who pisses on a tree to mark it as his.

He knows he'll go down in history as the worst president and 10 years after he's gone (which is hopefully 11 years from now or sooner) almost no one will admit voting for him or supporting him. Kind of like how by 2016 no one would admit to having voted for Bush Jr or supporting the invasion of Iraq. That's why he's so obsessed with Obama, he can't understand how he was not only so popular but has only become more popular over the past decade (easy to understand when you look at who there is to compare to)

I hope when democrats take back congress they put text in a must pass budget or defense bill that Trump has no choice but to sign (or will pass with enough votes to override any veto) declaring the government must call AI that and remove all references to SI. Along with putting back the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. Will be fun watching him rage impotently over reversals of his petty edicts.

Re: "The question is why the sudden change?"

At this point? It's become abundantly clear that the sick plan is Ten Years of Vance.

Vance is planning to invoke the 25th Amendment on no date sooner than 21 January 2027, because that is one day more than half of the presidential term that began on the 21st of January 2025.

So if Apricot Pol Pot were to do a grabber and keel over unalive during one of his stupid "make me feel good by having a crowd roaring at me" events before then, I'd be satisfied, even if it means he never faces the justice of mankind - I mean, any more than the 30-odd felonies he's already been convicted of.

[DS999]

Re: "The question is why the sudden change?"

If you become president more halfway through a term you are still eligible to serve two full terms if later elected.

Maybe Vance has such a plan, but no one can command the same type of cultish devotion that Trump did. Vance is just another politician to MAGA. No one is going to be able to get out the type of people who never voted until Trump came along - there are a surprising number of people who never voted until Trump. They voted for him in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and did not vote in 2018 or 2022. They will not vote next month, and will not vote in 2028. Not even for Don Jr, but definitely not for Vance or Rubio or the other fools who think they will be able to step in and claim the MAGA crown.

Worse, why, when this ludicrous renaming first surfaced a few days ago, did I not think of stocking up on .si domains?

Just another grift, then

Got to hand it to them, this one's more inventive than usual.

• Buy up lots of .si domains as private individuals or companies
• Mandate (indirectly, to help with deniability) that the gov't use .si domains
• Sell the .si domains to the gov't at, inevitably, outrageously high prices

Given that ai.com went for $70M according to Wikipedia - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_domain_names - there's serious money to be made in this particular scam. It also means destroying lots of documentation that says "AI" and reworking a tonne of web sites (likely using AI), which is absolutely on-brand for wasted resources and general environmental damage.
