https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2026/10/08/trump-calls-anyone-who-says-ai-instead-of-super-intelligence-an-enemy/

Excerpt of the executive order https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/09/inaugurating-the-era-of-super-intelligence/ from last week:

The terminology used by the Federal Government should reflect the transformative capabilities of these technologies and the limitless opportunities they create for the American people. Accordingly, the term “Super Intelligence” more appropriately captures the promise, potential, and rapidly advancing capabilities of these technologies. It is therefore the policy of my Administration that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the executive branch shall use the terms “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” and will not acknowledge the usage of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in any applicable setting.

In Epsteinland, you become an enemy of the state if you deadname the slop machine

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

Omg, he’s already got me on board with calling it super intelligence in front of everyone but if he tweeted out something about deadnaming with ‘AI’, the bit would go stratospheric

[–] HorreC@lemmy.world 61 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

fucking call them LLMs, what they are. Do not dress up the pig and put lipstick on it.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I prefer "Fake Intelligence" but okay

[–] HorreC@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

This is also acceptable, but it still like putting shoes on that pig.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How dare you shaming my kink?

[–] HorreC@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If the pig likes it, ok, but this pig doesnt get a vote.

[–] Cheebus@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

what about us that are polyhamorous?

It's Large Language Models (LLM). You should not call it AI anyway.

[–] MaxLemminist@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago

La La Models

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 weeks ago

except that people are pissed at things like image generators too, which aren't LLMs at all. So we use the umbrella term "AI" which people understand.

Now all of a sudden they dont like deadnames

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I guess OpenAI is in big trouble

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

They can get away with it by saying the AI in their name stands for Anal Incontinence

I wonder who bought his ass this time. No way Trump cares about those computaahs without being prompted.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 3 weeks ago

Probably Slovenia, they saw how much Anguilla was making on .ai domain names, and wanted to get in on the action with their .si TLD.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is just him flexing his power. Make people do and say stupid shit because he can. It's also like the brown m&m's, it shows immediately who's a brainwashed dipshit.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Except the M&Ms had an actual purpose. Van Halen was the band that made it famous.

They were the first band to do pyro in small clubs…and it meant that their tech rider…There were such incredibly specific things on there that related to people’s well-being in the crowd …that if they came into the dressing room and the bowl of M&Ms wasn’t correct, they’d know that they had to go back through the entire tech rider to make sure everyone was safe

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's the same thing. When they say Lake America and SI it's short hand that they're drinking the kool-aid.

The emperor is double-plus smart and definitely wearing clothes.

[–] butsbutts@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 weeks ago

hes so stupid

[–] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 weeks ago

I thought it was Democrats who would send you to gulag for not using proper names \s

[–] darkangelazuarl@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

It's pronounced superficial intelligence.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Was gonna ask if this was the onion and saw the sub. Wtf

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

They're communities in lemmy not subs, jsyk.

[–] MaxLemminist@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There aren't.
But they are.

He’s right. Anyone with a brain is his enemy.

[–] PangurBan@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Loyalty test. A very effective one given how often it's talked about literally everywhere...

[–] Dreamer@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

They're not even artificial intelligence. They are just glorified probability machines. Slopability machines, if you will.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

Bad news for OpenAI.

[–] Glurbox@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 weeks ago

And those who are mentionned in the Epstein files are his friends right?

It makes sense in this world that makes no sense.

[–] folaht@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Okay, I'm going to say it.
AI has secretly taken over the white house and this is their first demand.

[–] Sina@beehaw.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

That would be better.

[–] Hexadecimalkink@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

Soon it will be if you use the word AI you're a Chinese commie.

[–] Caption_Mo@reddthat.com 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

"highly accepted" and "more accurate"

Yes, it really matters at which end you crack your boiled egg.

[–] znonymous@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

Gonna start talking about FI so I can bait people into asking me what "FI" is and I can say why, Fake Intelligence, of course.

[–] BoosBeau@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I think someone's diaper rash is making them big upset.

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

I guess Jensen is now the enemy. He keeps slipping up and calling it AI.

[–] PorqueSan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What's with the unhealthy obsession with renaming things? Is there a medical term for his condition?

Fair, since anyone with natural intelligence considers the White House to be THE ENEMY as well. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[–] a4ng3l@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I look forward changing my title to « SUPER INTELLIGENCE governance lead »… it has such a nice ring to it. /s

[–] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Artificial intelligence.

[–] bertlewirth@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

ok, let me start off by saying.....

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

I guess I'm an enemy now. Awesome.

[–] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lets combine them. SI for Superficial Intelligence. Or Super artificial intelligence SAI

[–] DarthFreyr@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

"Intelligence" is so last-millenium, just call it an Artificial Super Sapient instead.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Loyalty tests. That's all he can do at this point. You know he's watching 8 tvs at once monitoring who's using the new word.

[–] SmoothLiquidation@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I feel like Trump’s handler read 1984 and thought newspeak sounded pretty cool.

[–] III@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Where's Linda McMahon to pronounce it see or "S One"?

[–] solbt@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

spurious intelligence
