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 […]

    Those .SI domains aren’t going to become profitable on their own. Got to hype it up.

    Grifter. I don’t think he’s coming up with the schemes, but someone behind the curtain is maxing things out while they can.

    2026 Midterm Elections
    Tuesday, November 3, 2026
    25 DAYS

    If you are eligible to vote in the upcoming US midterm elections, please actually do so rather than sitting them out. People who have the right to vote, don’t like Trump, but then don’t bother to actually vote are a major reason for Trump being in office right now. Younger voters in particular generally do not do so. The elderly, on the other hand, very reliably vote.

    Turnout in 2024 was, by US standards, high. But…there is still a very substantial chunk of the electorate that does not bother to vote.

    The midterms will (probably, unless likely investigations turn up something sufficiently damning to get Republican votes for removal from office) not remove Trump from office prior to the end of his term. But they will trigger investigations and limit his power in various ways, like restricting his ability to fairly-freely replace cabinet members.

      If only there was some way to get people in office that actually cared about lower income people… Maybe even filtering out the less considerate ones in some form of, idk, firstary election or something, just spitballing here of course…

      …ughh…

        would mean the press not being owned by the billionaires to slander the left leaning candidates…

        Highly-educated voters also don’t like Trump and do very strongly turn up to vote, but they are a comparatively-small group (particularly in older generations), so they don’t, on their lonesome, have the clout to move the needle much.

    For shits and giggles, I asked Lumo only because I get to use it with ProtonVPN. Welcome to my fifth ever AI query to it. Full answer follows:

    Defining Superintelligence

    Superintelligence refers to a hypothetical form of artificial intelligence that vastly exceeds human cognitive abilities across virtually all domains of interest—including scientific creativity, general wisdom, strategic planning, social skills, and problem-solving.

    Core Characteristics

    Unlike narrow AI systems that excel at specific tasks (like chess or image recognition), superintelligence would possess:

    • General cognitive superiority: Outperforming humans in virtually every intellectual endeavor
    • Recursive self-improvement capacity: The ability to iteratively redesign itself, potentially leading to rapid intelligence explosions
    • Cross-domain adaptation: Applying intelligence flexibly across fields rather than being confined to one specialty

    Key Distinctions

    Concept Description
    Narrow AI Excels at specific tasks (current state)
    Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Matches human-level intelligence across domains
    Superintelligence Significantly surpasses human-level intelligence

    Important Considerations

    The concept is primarily theoretical—no such system exists today. Researchers like Nick Bostrom (author of Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, 2014) have extensively studied the potential implications, both beneficial and existential, of such systems emerging.

    Key questions in the field include:

    • How quickly might it develop once AGI is achieved?
    • What mechanisms ensure alignment with human values?
    • How do we manage the transition period safely?

    Current Status

    As of my knowledge, we remain at the narrow AI stage. Estimates for when superintelligence might emerge vary widely among experts, ranging from decades to centuries—or possibly never, depending on one’s views on AI feasibility.

    Is there a particular aspect of superintelligence you’d like to explore further? For instance, the technical pathways to achieving it, safety considerations, or philosophical implications?

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