US President Donald Trump has warned that all those who do not refer to Artificial Intelligence (AI) as “Super Intelligence” or SI will be considered an enemy of the state. “The White House considers anyone that uses the term, ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, ‘Super Intelligence,’ THE […]
It’s pretty funny to me, thinking about how panicked all the American AI-CEOs must be now.

OpenAI woke up an enemy of the free world, and not before time.
I don’t think that’s the case. It’s a fairly easy thing for them to do (i.e. they just tell other people to do it and it’s not their problem anymore) but will win points with the president and divert attention from whatever fuckery they are up to. Alternatively, there is a non zero chance that he’ll forget about it in a few weeks anyways, so maybe they don’t even have to do anything.
The tech bros don’t give a fuck if the unwashed masses think they are sycophants. Have any of them faced real backlash for it yet? People say mean things about them, sure. But it doesn’t effect their wealth or power.
I mean OpenAI would even have to change its name and it would definitely affect their reputation with businesses and states, especially outside the US. The CEOs’ discomfort when they met with Trump was very visible.
It won’t ruin them, sure. But I’ll still take a bit of joy out of the headache this causes them.
