…. and that all US government departments have been instructed to call it SI.

Do we even have to discuss this crap? It's clearly the work of some in the US government who think they can brand something as "theirs" since the whole AI thing is universally used.

That’s the point - it’s total crap. I don’t think anyone here is taking it seriously.

Super Intelligence? Coming from the POTUS I thought it would have been short for Stupid Intelligence.

If Si was Si surely America would not be wadding into every muddy puddle and trap in the road.
We gave Dinosaurs a hard time for wandering into tarpits.
King George would like and apology for 'mad' title.

 

Suppose they can't call it American Intelligence, like Gulf of America, Strait of America cos Ai, already associated with other words.

 

As is SI , associated with units in metric that America eschews. 

 

I was looking at Theo's review of latest Grok, Elons best of the best Si.
It seems to be a token burner that empties your wallet, up to twice as fast as leading models how strange?

 

An excerpt of a Grok 4.7 thinking loop. 
Its probably funny till you think of how it's burning your subscription.

 

Elon promised this one would be good...

Trumps various statements on AI suggest to me that he sees AI as an arms race, that he wants the US to win.

 

If AI is going to be as powerful as people predict, then he's probably right. Even lunatics are right occasionally.
