Super Intelligence

Linkd

You couldn't pay me to call it super intelligence. I'm really curious how the industry will react to this name split.

There are many good reasons for an American to be deeply embarrassed by this administration. The push to normalize the term "Super Intelligence", while not highly consequential, is a deeply silly, juvenile, and therefore embarrassing move, emblematic of the lack of thoughtfulness with which the current government makes decisions. It's also utterly tone-deaf and fails to even pay lip-service to the legitimate concerns that many citizens have about the impact of AI on their lives.

what really is intelligence?

Before chasing super intelligence maybe fix how bad the average K12 education is for humans compared to the rest of the developed world.

I still prefer AI; it's better. The SI is just another way of taking ppl's money with domain names. few weeks before the announcement. Most amazing one-word .si domains were already taken. Now they are being sold for 3, 4, or even 5 figures. Keep it AI. Keep it simple!

I cannot stand this administration and their Trump branding of everything. Fuck everything about this.

Relieved to know the Assistant to the President for the Office of the First Lady is a key part of the SI Task Force.

There's an ongoing race to build capabilities and there's a race to understand, control, and align these systems. If we rush too far ahead in the first race, we face disaster. That's why so many people working at the leading American companies signed the pacing the frontier letter.

Putting aside the political ideas, I find the website pretty cool! It looks more like the kind of thing a web designer or demoscener would put up to show off his productions than a government website about a hot political topic.

i'm pretty sure the branding is just to filter anyone that isn't loyal to trump, anyone that doesn't agree with the new term is easily identified then slowly set aside.

While I wait for my mail in ballot to be delivered, which is taking a suspiciously long time, while the President, who has already ben impeached for one visible and overt coup attempt, has specifically ordered the USPS not to deliver them on either side, this is a good place to note to you, that he has also declared anyone who doesn’t call it super intelligence to be THE ENEMY, in all caps.

I’m not using that term to describe a field of study over 80 years old. You might as well try to unilaterally rename one of the Great Lakes.

From what I’ve been told, this is like back in the 1990’s when the US collectively decided to outsource manufacturing to other countries via coordinated action between the government and industry. The motivation was too boost profits. Here we are today, our manufacturing base gutted and a lot of hard working Americans left with nothing. AI is the same thing, except it’s going after our high paying jobs and collective knowledge. So our future again will be one will less good jobs for hard working people, but also one where knowledge is much less valuable.

AI is the correct term because it describes "what" it is (artificial, not natural intelligence). SI describes the magnitude and is no doubt meant as marketing, which then invites different prefixes over time ("ultra intelligence", etc.), creating consumer confusion.

I refuse to believe these people aren’t just LARPing Idiocracy at this point.

If AI -> Super Intelligence, is ASI -> Super Duper Intelligence? SDI!

Super cringe.

Trump is flailing, and desperate to build a legacy. This SI nonsense is his take at the Al Gore Internet thing. I'm just surprised he didn't shoehorn in "Trump".

> largest SI ecosystem wait, we need more than one future ruler of earth? Won't any two Skynets fight each other for control, which is why the US want to be first, not second, after PRC?
