As for me: Like it or not, Trump is my president. He's not my dictator, and he's not my technical dictionary. I'll use what terms I like. He doesn't get to tell me which terms to use (the First Amendment is on my side in this one.)

And I consider AI to be both more accurate and more established than SI, so I'll call it AI. And, as I said, I suspect that most people will do the same.

I'm proud to claim that I wrote that before the idea of "agents" was invented.

Why bother educating people when a "super intelligence" exists to do all the thinking? "Artificial" intelligence, sure, it's artificial not the real thing, so we still need people. But "super" intelligence? That language puts it above human intelligence, and intentionally diminishes humanity with their mere normal intelligence.

(FWIW putting a dilettante and then wrestling mogul in charge of the Department of Education and gutting it was also a commitment to never fix K12 education, so this is not new)

Understand that and a lot of the behavior of this administration makes sense.

They're after regulatory capture, disadvantaging competition.

OpenAI and Anthropic have collectively spent tens of billions of dollars, with their annual burn rates climbing rapidly, for something that increasingly commoditized at the non-frontier (i.e. MOST) applications.

That doesn't mean there aren't ALSO people who are worried that we will kills ourselves with AI, but they are in the minority.

This is also close to the authoritarian "make people say absurd things as a demonstration of power over them" playbook.

Don't "overt" and "visible" mean the same thing in this context?

Ain’t that what the so-called woke pussies do? Inventing words and declaring all who won’t adopt them enemies?

Oh how the turntables turn…

Conflicts are most often won not by the stronger side, but by the side which recognises first that the conflict exists.
