For my sanity I don't follow US politics too closely, if "super intelligence" is truly being pushed hard then it seems reasonable to assume the reason why is to assert control of truth. Who are you to disagree with Super Intelligence when it tells you that Haitians are eating dogs?
If really a new expression need to be coined, that should be something that means derived Intelligence/type II Intelligence etc.
What is intelligence anyway?
It's just a weird attempt at cementing some legacy.
The rest of the world is not going to go along with it.
Then again, flattering thinking machines is not too bad, ... just in case :D
Is there more context anyone can give to help understand what’s going on: I read the post but curious if AGI is just morphing into SI in lingo? Why is it being politicized?
The US's shit head in chief has unilaterally decided that it's no longer artificial intelligence but super intelligence. Now it's a game of waiting to see which of the lapdogs is the fastest one to obey.
The keyword is `regime`. It’s smart if the goal is to run a political regime where you separate your friends and enemies and prove to your friends that you can make them jump when you say jump.
As someone from outside the US, I was surprised to find out impeachment does not mean removal from office, you need a senate supermajority and (to my even greater surprise) only 33% of senate is up for re-election at each election cycle.
So knowing this, I understand he might get impeached, but unlikely to be removed so I don't see a whole lot changing after midterms, sadly.
It may not even be as thought out as that. I think he’s simply trying to link his Presidency to AI in a way that lasts. So of AI does take over the world, which it won’t, it will be his legacy, of sorts.
But yeah, in the meantime it’s a humiliation ritual. Good.
I've noticed it has another benefit of giving the administration an out when they get hard questions about AI. They can huff and puff about calling it SI instead of answering the question.

We just have an actual retard in the Oval Office, that's all. It's not much more than that.
For many outside the US, and undoubtedly some within it, the term SI is a source of embarrassment. But it’s good to know who bends the knee.
I am simply not purchasing a .si domain.

“Don’t call it AI, call it ‘American Skynet System’”.

There is also the consipracy theory that MAGA people in Trump's inner orbit started buying up .si domain names in June.
I might challenge the idea this is “smart politics”. Like I can get the tactics, but it feels disconnected from a greater strategy.
The best I can figure out is I guess good for the next two years having people subordinate to your administration.

Legacy framing feels off to me, the loyalty tests usually have a much shorter horizon than that, they're about who shows up this quarter.
I am a conservative, and I can't wait for the democrats to take control of the House and Senate to impeach this crazy buffon.

He wants "naming rights" and a way to pump the ccTLD for Slovenia, which he used to have connection to.
If you name it, you own it.
lmfao i didn't even think of the slovenia part.
Look at the price of .si domains the weeks before the announcement, gravy train ...

At some point you have to start laughing maniacally at the spinelessness of America's top paper billionaires, or it gets very dark, very fast.
I really don't understand what the point of being so rich is if it doesn't let you tell a moron like Trump to fuck off.
wtf now I love kissing the ring
Meta commentary warning.
WTF platform has to split that over three posts. I mean, at least it's not Twitter, but choose a platform that's fit for purpose.
