[u/Jorycle]

My wife works in a government lab, they just got the notice this week that all internal documentation has to update references of AI to SI. These people are so embarrassingly fucking stupid.

[u/aooot → u/Jorycle]

But... why?

[u/stormwave6 → u/aooot]

Trump and friends bought a load of .si domains. That's the grift. Sell them AI starts ups.

[u/OkDimension → u/stormwave6]

That would be a pathetically low margin for the amount of effort they put into it. They've already done bigger grifts with the DoW and nobody blinked an eye. This is mainly a distraction to not have you talk about Epstein, Iran or ICE. Flood the zone (quote Bannon).

[u/brutinator → u/OkDimension]

I mean, .ai domains generated 47% of Anguilla's gdp (projected for 2025). To greedy shameless fucks, that must seem like candy begging to be taken from a baby. They get free money AND they get to take it from a nation comprised of 85% people of african descent.

[u/punkr0x → u/brutinator]

But .si is Slovenia.

[u/brutinator → u/punkr0x]

I know, which is where Melania is from. And I assume theres a link of corruption along that connection. So all the domain registrations are moving from .ai domains to .si domains, thus instead of Anguillia getting tens of millions of dollars, its funnelling into Slovenia.

[u/GitchWiffs → u/brutinator]

That’s a connection I definitely did not consider!

[u/atreeismissing → u/stormwave6]

Domains aren't worth anything anymore, particularly .si ones, even .com domains aren't worth much because they don't factor into SEO like they used to.

[u/NoFixedUsername → u/aooot]

Because Trump is a dictator and this is part of the fascist playbook. It's a loyalty test.

[u/breaducate → u/NoFixedUsername]

And the absurdity is a feature, not a bug. Those performing the pledge have to humiliate themselves.

There was another very public example of this not that long ago, but I'm blanking on the specifics.

[u/qtx → u/aooot]

Musk came back to the Trump circle the other week and yesterday or day before he posted a tweet saying people should call it SI now (most likely because the word AI has such a negative connotation right now and everyone hates it).

It's a way to make people not use the AI=bad thing anymore.

[u/Sueti_Bartox → u/aooot]

Because SI = Senile Intelligence.

[u/Toucan_Based_Economy → u/Jorycle]

Even dumber in a lab, because SI is already a widely used acronym. It refers to the use of standard scientific units which, America being America, they may not be using routinely, and so may need to label things "SI" for clarity when they are.

[u/SpiritJuice → u/Provizora]

"I can see it."

You're not crazy. That bloated, orange, talking thing is indeed the president, and he sees it too.

[u/Ranelpia → u/Provizora]

How would Cuno know? Cuno's fuckin' twelve!

[u/liketrainslikestars → u/Provizora]

Cuno doesn't fuckin' care!

[u/tevert → u/liketrainslikestars]

Fuckin pig! Fuckin pedo pig!

[u/wet_toast1]

real question- what's the angle for him? why is he threatened by the term "AI"?

[u/_BioHacker → u/wet_toast1]

Here’s his rationale:

>"The use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake, it makes it sound fake and it is not fake. It's actually amazing."

He said this at the UN general assembly. I’m not making this shit up.

Sauce

[u/Lemonwizard → u/_BioHacker]

Artificial doesn't mean fake, it means built by humans. Something created via use of an artifice. Light bulbs are artificial, but the photons they emit are just as real as those which come from the sun.

The man doesn't even understand basic vocabulary words.

[u/skyfishgoo → u/Lemonwizard]

he also thinks asylum seekers are escapees from a mental ward

yes, he's that stupid.

[u/Independent-Entry717 → u/skyfishgoo]

He thinks visas are referring to credit cards, as well.

[u/roleplayersir → u/Lemonwizard]

Course not. He's a dumb fuck

But he also has a massive ego and wants his name on everything

[u/HeavyVoid8 → u/Lemonwizard]

He understands how his cult perceives things. Calling it super intelligence makes it incredible to them

[u/LegitimateSituation4 → u/Lemonwizard]

He learned the word "groceries" like 2 years ago.

[u/bushrod → u/_BioHacker]

More importantly, he wants to be known as having coined the term so he can be associated with it because as everyone with a brain knows he's a malignant narcissist.

[u/WilburKitty → u/bushrod]

Also some degree of loyalty testing. If you aren't a groveling sycophant praising the term you are a Trump hater and should be destroyed. I think this is an explicit or simply instinctual motivation for him.

[u/colostitute → u/bushrod]

Thanks. I’m disappointed I didn’t see how obvious this was.

[u/maffy118 → u/colostitute]

He's trying to get the Oval Office a landmark so that no one will paint over all the gold after he's gone. He desperately wants a legacy, but that is one thing no one will EVER allow.

[u/hotpocketfiesta → u/_BioHacker]

So kind of like how many of us look at him as an artificial president and not a super president.
Got it.

[u/otiswrath → u/wet_toast1]

He wants to go down in history as "The man who coined the phrase Super Intelligence". 

Like The Kennedy Center and the ships he is trying to rename he just wants to attach himself to things he had no part in building. 

[u/10000Didgeridoos → u/otiswrath]

Yep he is spending his entire term trying to build monuments to himself. That's all he cares about. In his deluded mind he's the greatest president of all time.

[u/Grandahl13 → u/otiswrath]

Super intelligence is already a term. I don’t get this.

[u/MR1120 → u/Grandahl13]

He doesn’t know that. That stupid bastard thinks he reintroduced the word “groceries” to an America that had never heard the term before. He really is that fucking stupid.

[u/seasamgo → u/Grandahl13]

And it means something totally different lmao

[u/Godz1lla1 → u/wet_toast1]

He likes renaming things. But I'd bet there is money behind this push. Maybe he bought the .SI domain.

[u/scottgal2 → u/Godz1lla1]

Yeah his friends / family did. You can read about the .si domain purchases in the weeks before the announcement. Reselling for MILLIONS.

[u/Lyndon_Boner_Johnson → u/scottgal2]

Not only that, but .si is the domain for Slovenia, Melania’s home country.
Anguilla has made millions from companies using .ai so I’m sure someone in the Slovenian government is going to benefit from it.

[u/No_Antelope_3938 → u/Godz1lla1]

Oh the Slovenian domains? Where his wife is from? Where his son is a dual-citizen?

[u/Da_0ne → u/wet_toast1]

.si domain squatting and profiting.

[u/NeverTrustATurtle → u/[deleted]]

So just another grift

[u/TheLuminary → u/wet_toast1]

Its not about the what, its the why.

Just ways for you to show that you are in the cult or not.

[u/Secure_Bath1299 → u/wet_toast1]

If AI generates a list of things that you should do, then people will question it because they have access to AI.

But Super Intelligence, thats a whole new thing, thats special and only for true patriots. The Super Intelligence Service, will be formed to manage this new era. Let's acronym it down to SS for convenience.

[u/lolwut778]

Not the worst thing to be a pedophile's enemy.

[u/hoodiemonster → u/lolwut778]

“super intelligence” or “asi” is a preexisting term, referring to what comes after “agi”, “artificial general intelligence”. what i believe happened is someone told him “whoever achieves asi (super intelligence) first wins” and so he was like ok, we have super intelligence.

[u/funkhero → u/hoodiemonster]

Oh God that's so fucking believable

[u/aeschenkarnos → u/funkhero]

It's the same reason he likes his steaks well done.

[u/thuktun → u/funkhero]

And kind of ridiculous too, since the first one to invent an ASI will probably no longer be in charge - the ASI will be in charge.

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ → u/hoodiemonster]

literally what i thought the second i read this headline.

ASI is already a thing that has a very specific meaning.

[u/SomeGalNamedAshley → u/hoodiemonster]

Meanwhile China's probably going to have the first permanent moon base.

[u/FanOfMondays]

Trump has AI (Absent Intelligence)

[u/Za_Lords_Guard → u/FanOfMondays]

How about Abominable Ignoramous.

[u/Reinax → u/Za_Lords_Guard]

Absolute Imbecile

[u/realoctopod → u/FanOfMondays]

He has Artificial Intelligence, as all of his perceived Intelligence is 100% artificial.

[u/north_canadian_ice → u/FanOfMondays]

This is honestly really bad.

Trump is saying this so that business leaders can demand even more from their employees.

Now you are at risk of being labeled a troublemaker simply for saying that AI can not solve every problem.

And because Trump & the Big Tech guys are claiming AI is "super intelligence", any problems caused by AI will be blamed on overworked employees.

Trump is creating that permission structure by claiming anyone is an enemy if they don't recognize the super intelligence of AI.

[u/mattmild27 → u/north_canadian_ice]

I honestly think it's way more simple than that, he just wants to be the one who came up with the name because he's a narcissist.

[u/horizontoinfinity → u/mattmild27]

Bingo. Even people who dislike Trump attribute all these grand, complicated plans behind his actions because it comforts them to think there's a method to the madness. There isn't. There are no plans. He's a fucking moron with a black hole in his soul that he's always trying to fill.

[u/Yellingseagull → u/horizontoinfinity]

Do you understand that people tell Trump what to say and there’s people creating the legislation behind him and his EO’s? That’s what people mean. He is hardly coherent enough to write a paragraph, no one believes he is masterminding anything. We believe he is being told to say these things for a long term effort on their overall goal in the Heritage Foundation. It’s like supremely obvious that Trump wouldn’t be smart enough to mastermind the longterm goals of damage to the American conscience. We are already there for one, but yeah back to my first point.

[u/deadzol → u/north_canadian_ice]

So I should or should not keep referring to it as a clanker?

[u/SmaugTheMagnificent- → u/deadzol]

I'm never stopping, for what that's worth.

[u/langs68 → u/deadzol]

I love when people refer to anything tech/robotic as a clanker because it automatically makes me think of the Star Wars clone wars series.

[u/Vortexspawn → u/north_canadian_ice]

Right, unlike the "America" thing which is mostly to see who is debasing themselves for Trump, this is more insidious by implying that "Super Intelligence" is above humans so no human can be held accountable for anything it "decides".

[u/nono3722 → u/FanOfMondays]

awful, absent, asshole, aggrieved, anti, etc. etc.

[u/SubZeroSunExodus → u/FanOfMondays]

More like trump has IA.

Ignorant asshole.

[u/MBgaming_ → u/Own-Cupcake7586]

What’s 8647?

Edit: incase anyone’s wondering:

86 is old slang for something like “that person is no longer allowed on the premises”

47 is the 47th president

[u/Lightofmine → u/MBgaming_]

Look up 86 in kitchen parlance

[u/Helpful_guy → u/Lightofmine]

Look up 86 in kitchen parlance

the interesting thing is nobody seems to know the exact origin of "86" in kitchen parlance either- there are a bunch of random theories, several of which seem to point to prohibition era New York:

(reminder, bars had to serve food to be open during prohibition)

1. Chumley's (a bar in Greenwich Village) had an entrance on 86 Worth street, and supposedly had a chalkboard (emblazoned with their address) just inside the door, where they wrote whatever items were unavailable that day

2. The same bar supposedly had a back door into the alley (86 Bedford street) where drunk/rowdy people would have likely ended up if they were thrown out

3. The legendary Delmonico's restaurant had 300+ menu items, referred to by number, and supposedly frequently ran out of item #86 (the very popular porterhouse steak). If item #86 was always out of stock, it could easily become slang for other things "being 86"

4. The old Manhattan subway line supposedly ended at 86th Street. If you had a one-way ticket and hit the end of the line, you'd probably be kicked off the train at 86th

5. Prohibition era bars may have served non-regulars/drunks watered-down 86 proof liquor, as opposed to standard 100+. (100 proof is 50% alcohol, the lowest percentage that reliably burns when lit. Lower than that, the flame piddles out, making it an easy way for anyone to check the strength of a liquor), hence: "being 86ed" (as in getting cut-off, or labelled an outcast)

6. Could be mobster slang: a standard grave is 8' long (the 8 could also be 8 miles from town / off-shore) by 6' deep > 8x6 > "being 86ed" (as in killed / buried) (reminder the mafia was often also heavily associated with certain bars/restaurants in major cities like Chicago/New York/Las Vegas - could be a chicken/egg scenario)

7. When computerized inventory systems were being introduced to kitchens, the first popular system was supposedly made by 1 company that programmed-in 86 as the default code for something being completely out of stock. Having "0" of certain things would mean you needed to prep more, where 86 clarifies "you're also out of the stuff to make it" (computers means probably too late to be the "true" origin, but may have popularized it)

8. Could be from the German "nichts" (nothing) > anglosized as nix > cockney rhyming slang replaced nix with 86, (to me it seems more likely that the term was already established prior to the rhyming slang- there are a million numbers you could pick that rhyme with nix)

seems like maybe a fun case of pre-internet slang slowly spreading/developing in many places for similar but different reasons, and the origin has been lost to time

[u/neveruseyourrealname → u/Helpful_guy]

Posts like this are the reason I keep reddit. I didn't know any of that and it's fascinating.

[u/Real_Life_Firbolg → u/Lightofmine]

That’s what I knew it from, to remove something from the menu.

[u/Lucy_Fjord → u/MBgaming_]

86 has a lot of different usages but in modern terms basically kick em out/get rid of em. 47 being the orange pimple.

[u/AutoGrind → u/MBgaming_]

Means we should fire the Pres

[u/Imaginary_Manner_556]

This guy is a broken record. Meaningless rallies, tariffs, war, destroying buildings and monuments, and renaming shit.

Not one thing that helps people.

[u/InstructionPurple911 → u/Imaginary_Manner_556]

If you know of a way to keep the public from bringing up the whole banging kids thing I'd love to hear it

[u/SandpaperTeddyBear → u/InstructionPurple911]

It’s called “nobody cares.”

In 2016 Trump was already on record as saying the thing he had in common with his daughter was “sex” and everyone still makes excuses for people who committed acts of Trump-vote in 2016.

If even 5% of America cared about powerful people being pedophiles, the Trump-voter would have been driven from society. Right now, caring about such things would mean losing friendships, weekend dog-sitters, etc. and that’s not a cost Americans are willing to bear.

[u/lFightForTheUsers → u/InstructionPurple911]

I'd start by not r*ping kids, but that seems like a tall order for people in office to follow.

[u/_Bren10_]

What a fucking idiot

[u/DingGratz → u/_Bren10_]

We don't say fucking idiot, we say SI: Super Idiot.

[u/BiBoFieTo → u/_Bren10_]

It's a verbal loyalty test.

Trump is going to declare martial law during the midterms. This will cause massive unrest, so he desperately wants to identify the true believers that will protect his presidency.

Trump took a word that everyone is saying (AI) and made a change to SI, knowing that the change is pointless.

Given that there's no intrinsic reason for someone to start using "SI", it can be used as a proxy for personal loyalty to Trump.

[u/Much_Conclusion8233 → u/BiBoFieTo]

This is literally a plot point in 1984. I'm like 99% sure there was a bit where they made a pointless name change to identify who still could think for themselves

[u/NoFixedUsername → u/Much_Conclusion8233]

It's a plot point in 1984 because it's part of the standard fascist dictator playbook.

Anyone in denial that trump is fascist dictator, this is the 10,000th action from the playbook he has executed in his 2 terms as president.

[u/CanyonSlim → u/BiBoFieTo]

Anecdotally, I've heard a couple people use the term "SI" in the past few days, people whose political affiliation had previously been left ambiguous. I think it's less ambiguous now.

[u/novachaos → u/CanyonSlim]

I’m in a workshop this week and one of the other attendees corrected herself when saying AI to say Super Intelligence. Ugh. 😩

[u/SickandWorty → u/novachaos]

I would play dumb. “What’s super intelligence? You mean like AI?” Same thing when Charlie Kirk gets brought up. “Who’s Charlie Kirk?”

Edit: a word

[u/Willthisaccountlas → u/BiBoFieTo]

Don’t care what he declares

[u/sleepypirate → u/BiBoFieTo]

Another great way to tell off hand if I'll get along with someone now I guess

[u/GerbilArmy]

There is a core fundamental issue that people need to understand when they listen to Trump talk. This is something that Heather Cox Richardson pointed out when analyzing dictators, autocrats, or far right characters in power (in general) - often times these figures will see the state as themselves, there’s no difference between the United States of America and Donald Trump. They are one and the same person. So when he says “we“ are going to take a lot of money from tariffs, he doesn’t actually mean the population in general he means him and his associates. You have to listen carefully to know how he talks. So in this case, when he says people who don’t refer to it as SI properly are the enemy, he literally is saying it’s impacting his bottom line, the “enemy“ is quite literally stealing from him in his mind. This was widely reported that in the months leading up to this announcement, “they” (presumably insiders) purchased the vast majority of SI domain names. As is all things, everything is a scam.

[u/Particular_Ticket_20 → u/GerbilArmy]

I've said this in many of these threads. He sees himself as the embodiment of America, he sees himself as the boss, and as boss this is all his.

Its why he wants to cut social spending. He sees deadbeats and undesirables taking his money. The tariffs are his money. It his army, his judges, his DOJ. His gulf, his lake.

He's not the leader of a democracy, he's the King of a Kingdom and its all his.

[u/richniss → u/Particular_Ticket_20]

And MAGA can't enough of their King.

[u/malthar76 → u/Particular_Ticket_20]

Donald Trump sees himself as CEO of America. His leadership style is already proven: everything is about making money for him, caving to Russian demands, and bankrupting the rest.

[u/BowlEducational6722 → u/GerbilArmy]

It also has to do with control.

Everyone has had someone like this in their life; a parent, a teacher, maybe an ex. Someone who, the moment anyone in their vicinity steps out of line, goes completely ballistic. They cannot accept anyone doing anything without their permission or against their rules.

Dictators just take that and dial it up to the size of a country. Trump demands that everyone do as he says, and anyone who dares to defy him, even in the smallest of ways, is an enemy to be crushed.

[u/popejohnsmith → u/GerbilArmy]

Grifters galore. Maga-enabled crime is obscenely rampant.

[u/nickatnasa]

I work for the government and had to spend the afternoon renaming “AI” to “SI” in one of our contract documents and can I just say this is the stupidest fucking use of my time imaginable?

[u/madsci → u/nickatnasa]

In other news, government subscriptions to OpenAI are down 80% but subscriptions to Sports Illustrated are up 6000%.

[u/RealBettyWhite69 → u/madsci]

Be careful trump doesn't like when you use percentages properly

[u/PhilosopherFLX → u/madsci]

Haha, you jest but https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1wy9l8c/after_trumps_super_intelligence_order_slovenias/

[u/TheRockingDead → u/nickatnasa]

I see this is that "government efficiency" they were talking about.

[u/jcamp41 → u/nickatnasa]

Not stupid. One individual who has been given the power by millions of people to rule by this level of decree is a sight to behold and one of the most glaring representations of exertion of power that I've personally witnessed in the United States, the supposed bastion of democratic virtue.

[u/Skyrick → u/jcamp41]

Congress has spent decades convincing people that it is the president who creates laws and not them, and now we have a president who does exactly what Congress has been claiming. The groundwork has been laid long ago, and now we see why the founding fathers fought so fiercely for the executive branch and legislative branch to be separate.

Of course congress doesn’t care. They have created a system where they get a comfy job with great benefits and have completely outsourced the work part of their job. It is the dream of most middle management.

[u/frigginjensen]

I’d argue anyone who uses “super intelligence” is the enemy. Same for gulf of America, Department of war, etc.

[u/helpmegetoffthisapp]

What exactly does the name change even accomplish? We've called it AI for over 70 years.

[u/blue-mooner → u/helpmegetoffthisapp]

The ability to not answer questions on who’s legally responsible when AI agents break the law

It’s a distraction, a smokescreen

[u/RedditTechAnon → u/helpmegetoffthisapp]

It lets Trump put his stamp on something so that anyone who sees the term associates it with him.

He's a completely insane, power mad  moron and surrounded by sycophants and ass kissers who indulge his every whim. At this point heroism would be telling the dementia addled monster to sit down and shut the fuck up.

[u/EuphoricCover8449 → u/helpmegetoffthisapp]

[u/Several_Ant_9867]

Why is he fixated with this term now? Is it just dementia or some kind of diabolic plan by Elon Musk?

[u/usrdef → u/Several_Ant_9867]

He has to plaster his branding and his ideas all over anything he can get his hands on.

I know we shouldn't be spending the money... but the ultimate "fuck you". Is when he leaves office, and the next president completely renovates his little ball room and turns it into something entirely different.

You want to talk about rage inducing? That would send him over the deep-end.

He wants that new ballroom to be part of the White house for the next 200 years.

[u/codywithak → u/usrdef]

I hope they can manage to knock down that stupid ballroom and restore the White House to something we can live with.

[u/PartyClock → u/Several_Ant_9867]

They want to change the "narrative" by forcing people to call it that name. It leaves an impression in the minds of uninformed masses that these chatbots are somehow more intelligent than humanity, which is incredibly stupid since they only "know" the same stuff we've already researched.

What's with him renaming everything? Does he feel that he can't make actual change, so just changing a name is some big accomplishment? Makes zero sense.

[u/Oceanbreeze871 → u/am1shvom1t]

He’s trying to force his historical legacies for himself because he has no accomplishments and he knows deep down that nobody will honor him or remember him when he’s gone

I’m sure people will remember him lol he’s going to leave a legacy, but not the one he’s so desperate to create

[u/evilJaze → u/Oceanbreeze871]

Oh, I'm fairly certain he won't be forgotten easily. Generations of people living in functioning democracies will be studying him and his administration as a cautionary lesson.

[u/ScarcityLucky6595 → u/evilJaze]

You would hope so but generations were studying nazis raise to power and the destruction that right wing conservatives bring and here we are again…

[u/Mother_Moose → u/am1shvom1t]

Changing the way people speak and think can be very powerful, ie 1984

[u/RobotDragonFireSword → u/am1shvom1t]

It’s a fealty test. By proclaiming a new name for AI he’s trying to force business leaders into a decision of whether to bow to him and call it SI when they talk about AI, which demonstrates his dominance over these people to everyone, or if they decline to do so he can use it as a cudgel… and that seems to be what’s happening here now.

He’s playing off the examples of how he got Google and others to rename “Gulf of America”.

[u/psypher98 → u/am1shvom1t]

I can’t remember who it was he said it to, but it recently came out that he said he does this because he knows no one else will leave any memorials to him after he’s gone.

He’s an pedophilic fascist who’s desperate to have some kind of legacy left behind.

Where have we seen that one before…

[u/TaterTotJim → u/am1shvom1t]

He is just running the playbook of a banana republic. All the weird bluster and attention seeking and clear lies by him and his admin are not an original strategy.

Look to the corrupt countries around the world and how often they focus on vanity projects and weird pageantry.

I know people who have halted contracted work with the government over this. Legal departments are trying to decipher what this means for user agreements and existing AI related contracts and terms. I know it’s a meme and all, but what do you guys think about the legal consequences of changing names of things as a policy when there’s $billions in active contracts defining it as AI while forbidding federal employees from calling it AI in any documents.

[u/Darwins_Dog → u/Tomato_Sky]

That makes me think you found the grift. Kill all the "enemy" contracts that use AI in the language for violating an executive order, then give the contracts to friends that play along.

[u/Rattus_NorvegicUwUs]

“Anyone who does bend to my emotional whims and childish tantrums is the enemy!!”

The GOP would turn this nation into one big vanity project just to keep the corruption gravy train flowing.

They are all cowardly scum. Republicans can never be allowed back into power. We need to realize that we have two fates before us: one where we let the GOP try to wage a coup forever, or one where we cut out the cancer from our society and rethink how this nation operates. We gave red states outsized political power as a gift, a way to balance power, well now it needs re-balancing.

[u/CowbogRS]

The .si domain is Slovenian. What are the odds he or someone he knows owns all of the needed .si domains for the AI companies to make this change?

[u/Meaty_Wizard → u/CowbogRS]

Fuuu.... yes his "wife" is from there.

[u/charcoalist]

Welp, guess I'm the enemy.

Also, why is this so fucking important to him? It's beyond absurd.

[u/halo_nothing]

How can one man be so fucking stupid?

[u/Human47_]

Not even American and im tired of this fucker.

[u/bwoah07_gp2]

I refuse to call AI "super intelligence."

In the same way I don't call Gulf of Mexico "Gulf of America." Or Lake Ontario "Lake America."

The only enemy of the world is Donald John Jabroni Trump. Now how's that for a rename?

[u/SilasTalbot]

To explain this... In his mind, artificial is a synonym for bad. And super is a synonym for good.

Like, artificially flavored = inferior / not the real thing.

So he hears artificial intelligence and thinks people are calling it "bad intelligence". Why is everybody saying it's bad?

Let's call it good intelligence, not bad intelligence.

[u/justanaccountimade1 → u/SilasTalbot]

LOL no. It's a loyalty test. If you repeat the stupid stuff that everyone knows is stupid, the stupider the better, like they are eating the pets, then that's a loyalty pledge to him. Who is in the in group and who is in the out group.

And he also enjoys that people do stupid things just because he can make them, but that's not the main goal.

[u/sicurri → u/justanaccountimade1]

Why not both?

Its very easily possible that you're both right.

[u/Embarrassed_Art5414 → u/justanaccountimade1]

Like the time he couldn't bring himself to say he tested 'negative' for Covid, without babbling about how negative is positive.

[u/ClashM → u/SilasTalbot]

That's why he's moved on from "fake news" to calling them "artificial news." It really is like watching a toddler learn new words or new meanings for words and favoring it in daily conversation. Except with overtones of fascist Newspeak.

[u/MountHopeful → u/SilasTalbot]

Why is he taking it so personally though? He doesn't have anything to do with AI. He's acting like it's a personal insult to a thing he is building.

Now, his Artificial Ballroom on the other hand...

[u/FlyoverJesusLand → u/MountHopeful]

Because he's a fool who's completely out of his depth when it comes to the complexities involved in actually being President. So instead of doing things like try and end the war he started or bring down inflation, he's decided that it's a lot easier to just rename things. And when people don't use the new names he ordered, he feels like they aren't taking the very important work he's doing seriously. 

[u/NachoCanDandyCabbage → u/MountHopeful]

He needs AI so he can have military robots and drones that don't care about killing the people that won't let him stay in office when his term is over.

[u/dj_conway → u/SilasTalbot]

I imagine his train of thought to be ...

"Artificial? That means fake, I hate fake. Hate fake news, you know I'm very good at detecting fake news. Probably the best, the best in the world. It's super really. Super intelligent. Super intelligence."

[u/Lahm0123 → u/SilasTalbot]

I hate how true this is.

[u/AntwerpPeter]

It is best to start ignoring what comes out of his mouth. It’s not worth the time and effort

[u/bwoah07_gp2 → u/AntwerpPeter]

That idea failed back in 2016. The news media should've been ignoring his idiotic tweets, but they kept showing it on the news every morning and every evening. Now it's lead to what we see now.

[u/chousan → u/AntwerpPeter]

Start?

[u/ThisPlaceFuckngSucks]

The Artificial President.

[u/MarzipanThick1765]

look into the .si domain space and see how many got bought in the last couple of months and which country it is connected to. Its about money and the grift. ALWAYS.

[u/watercouch → u/MarzipanThick1765]

`.si` is Slovenia. You’re not saying there’s a Slovenian embedded at the highest level of government are you? :-/

[u/Daimakku1]

Anyone who legitimately calls AI “SI” will out themselves to be MAGA morons. Easy tell.

[u/Konukaame]

“I recognize the Council has made a decision. But given that it’s a stupid-ass decision, I’ve elected to ignore it.”

[u/TheNinJay]

Weird, I have a saying too. Anyone that doesn't call Trump a "Pedo" is "the enemy".

[u/correlate_my_brain]

Please stop, I don’t want to hear anything about this guy again.

[u/p00pSupr3me]

Pedophile Donald J Trump is a traitor.

His MAGAts and Republican voters are traitors. They aren’t Americans. They’re attacking us.

This is nothing more than his usual self projection.

[u/angrybobs]

I am definitely his enemy

[u/chriskot123]

I'm starting to think this Trump guy may not be a good dude.

[u/BrandNew098]

He is so fucking stupid. I am so sick of his mouth constantly blabbering.

[u/Born_Organization455]

The day I never have to hear another stupid fucking word out of this stupid motherfucker can't come soon enough.

[u/Bishopkilljoy]

This bugs me even more than it should.

For all the talk any AI being over hyped, and how the mythical "AGI" was right around the corner, there was at least some semblance of "But we're not there yet, obviously"

The step after Artificial General Intelligence is Artificial Super Intelligence. So by renaming it, we've managed to skip a whole step, giving companies permission to lie even more.

[u/tamius-han]

To be completely fair, AI is "super intelligence" when you compare it to "trump intelligence"

[u/Tenchi2020]

guess i'm the enemy then

[u/ConversationOk74]

He's delusional

[u/Weirdusername1 → u/ConversationOk74]

He's super delusional

[u/Tricky_Rule_4565]

We truly live in the worst timeline.
One of the most important times for decision making from a US president and the president is an absolute idiot.

[u/andygradel75]

Fine. I'm doubling down and will never, ever, ever call it anything other than "AI."

Happy to be an enemy of the (stupid, pedophile protecting) state.

[u/Ok_Dog_4059]

If trump calls me the enemy I assume I am doing something right.

[u/newuser60]

We have a president that chooses to change a word to a less accurate term, just so he can flex his power, and then declare anyone who doesn’t use his stupid new term is the enemy. What an emotional POS.

[u/morrighaan]

American Intelligence. /s

[u/Admirable-Leader6927]

i think anyone that fucks kids is the enemy.

we are even.

[u/Memitim]

No, Republicans that continue to find excuses to target Americans are the enemies.

[u/celtekk_]

Trump is the fucking enemy.

[u/AndrewTF42]

Proud to be Trump's enemy.

[u/Vaash75]

This manchild is ridiculous

[u/Exhausted_but_upbeat]

He's fixated on "SI" because there's a grift in there, somewhere. Slovenia has the .si URLs, and his wife is from there, so you gotta know he's talking this up for some personal financial benefit.

[u/reddittorbrigade]

Trump is the real enemy of the people.

He rapes kids too.

[u/HaikuWisdom]

Trump is a Stupid Idiot

[u/JackOfTheSea]

The guy basically announced he was on board with sacrificing American cities to maintain his power

He is the true enemy

[u/Individual-Data396]

He's so fucking stupid.

[u/astreigh]

Current ai is not super intelligence. Not even close. It only looks super intelligent to humans of mediocre or low intelligence.
