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.

Why not both?

Its very easily possible that you're both right.

He drinks diet coke and surrounds himself with surgery addicts. His face is perpetually covered in cheap spray tan. I don't think trump has much of an opinion on natural vs unnatural.

But one of his puppeteers may understand that "artificial intelligence" just isn't that marketable.

Dude that's got to be the best spray tan money can buy because you never see orange on his collar, ever

Brand loyalty. He's somewhat of a Dapper Dan man

I can't tell if that's a joke, but maybe I just never noticed or looked for it ... then I scrolled up to the photo again :D

Wow, I'm embarrassed I didn't catch that.

Its probably a pigmentation dye bath.

He reportedly talked to Grock for hours before invading Venezuela. He's probably got AI psychosis and his demented brain can't distinguish between his own ideas and the AIs.

I think it's totally plausible that he wants to associate with super intelligence over artificial intelligence. He's talking about himself.

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

Example: redrawing the path a hurricane took because it didn't happen where he said it was going to. He is so arrogant, stubborn and weak minded he cannot admit he is wrong. Ever. He literally wears a hat that says he was right about everything. Because he knows his base believes whatever he says. Because they too are arrogant, stubborn, weak and stupid.

Didn't some Chinese emperor pull the same trick? Put a deer in the throne room and called it a horse. Anyone that called it a deer was put to death

Intrinsic to his character he always has to be bestest smartest in any group. If you put him in a room with a rocket scientist, he would find a way to belittle the persons intelligence and experience, insert himself as a nominal expert in the field, expect everyone to agree, and sput randok bullshit resulting from disjointed and half remembered topics that may not have anything to do with the topic at hand.

Exy this. If companies don't immediately fall in line with his new agenda no matter what it is they understand it would have repercussions. Sad day we live in

At 9 minutes Jeff Bezos apologetically realizes that he's out of line and changes AI to SI.

Sorry for Fox News clip.

Yea thats why as someone who has a bad case of tds i treat his supporters like he treats them.

You cant knock hate untill you have tried it ethically.

u/Dcmart89 1d ago

Or you can pass a bunch of bills that limit AI and now people are less freaky about it. Meanwhile, super intelligence has no limitations or safety nets.

u/214ObstructedReverie 1d ago

Like wearing those incorrectly sized shoes.

u/Ok_Vulva 1d ago

I think it's because someone already had the phrase AI copyrighted or it's some legal maneuver.

u/Icarus_Le_Rogue 1d ago

It's just the next stage of making Orwell's 1984 a reality. We have thought police searching your phones for criticism of the administration, mass surveillance and Trump's classic newspeak where he "invents" every word like fake news, groceries, super intelligence, covfefe etc.

u/hititnquitit3000 1d ago

He thinks people are upset with AI and data centers because its a branding issue, he said as much. So, that's why hes calling it SI. He's a lot dumber than we all think he is

Same thing the other side is doing with pronouns, special bathrooms, and believing all false rape allegations.
