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.

It's been Artificial Intelligence since like the 1950s. And so it shall remain.

[–] CalemitousVariantK@lemmy.world 19 points 9 hours ago

Nobody with as much as average intelligence will use the term 'super intelligence' to describe LLMs.

They're already joking about it at work. Its creating a dogwhistle and people know it.

I swear the next thing will be Super America

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I'm surprised he didn't try to call it American Intelligence instead. The shit is right there and would match all his other moronic naming proclamations

[–] bluecario@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Super Earth, too. See: Helldivers series.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

That's where I was going, but Super Earth is a bit of a stretch in Trump's lifespan.

If everyone hears it it's just a whistle.

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

What do you mean by dog whistle? MAGA people are using it unironically? Sane people are using it ironically?

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

By telling his people to call it "Super Intelligence" it singles out people calling it AI as an outgroup.

It has nothing to do with the meaning, just a way of identifying "the correct people."

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 2 points 5 hours ago

Ah ok. I have yet to encounter anyone who uses the term unironically.

I blame his staff. He does these things whenever Pudding Time is late.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 35 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Why is everyone afraid of this stupid incontinence having pedophile?

Ohhhh, because the ones protecting him are also pedophiles and are protected themselves and also gain wealth because of his idiotic policies. It all makes sense when you realise the entire supporting system for this regime are stupid fucking pedophiles up to and including the moron citizens that STILL worship him.

The pedophilia cult is real.

All of that. Plus nuclear launch codes and a cohort of sycophants ready to drop nukes to hasten the Rapture.

What a weird fucking hill to die on.

[–] CalemitousVariantK@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago

As long as he dies on it fast, I think we'll all be satisfied.

[–] maxthemummer@lemmus.org 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (2 children)

I prefer to call it "New and Improved Intelligence."

The most infuriating part is that people are going to start doing it

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 hours ago

The people who insist on using the phrase, artificial intelligence can all get in line behind the rest of us! ......... /s

I'm happily giving a flying fuck to what "the White House considers".

[–] stumu415@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The rest of the world doesn't give a flying fuck about what anyone calls anything in the US anymore. You lost.

[–] Unquote0270@programming.dev 1 points 7 hours ago

We can add it to the lengthy list of things they say incorrectly.
