Trump says US will henceforth call AI 'super intelligence'

The guy who renames everything with "America" really missed his chance here.

It was an 'A' and everything, already there for the taking.

I think we need a new service called Trump Intelligence that provides stream of consciousness hallucinations trained entirely on a corpus of Trump's utterances.

Texas Instruments probably wouldn't like that though.

As well as the absurdity of even this happening, the claim that this is a "more accurate" term is patently false.

Up to now intelligence has been attributed to living beings, the "artificial" indicates that it is intelligence of something that isn't a living being. Also living beings could be "super" intelligent, and many (most, all so far?) instances of artificial intelligence are not super intelligent.

The irony of someone so lacking in intelligence renaming a category of intelligence, and getting it so wrong.

The actual article title is “Trump says US Justice Department could rein in AI companies if needed”

And the article says “Trump also said US government documents would use the term "super intelligence" going forward instead of artificial intelligence.”

This is editorialized in a pretty biased way.

The title I submitted it with was the title shown on the article when I submitted it, as evidenced by the URL slug. Reuters changed it at some point after I submitted it. No editorialising intended or done on my part.

Oh my mistake

loser behavior

Lemme th… no.

In what fucking dystopia some political leader just dictates new terms for things and names for places (like the Gulf of Mexico) at will?

We were always at war with Merriam-Webster.

Merriam-Webster is supposed to be descriptivist. Prescriptivists are the enemy.

There you go: ASI is here, we can stop taking bets - Trump said so.

Taking on the important issues!

What were we talking about before? Jeffrey Epstein.
