You want to laugh. But eventually the ludicrousness of it all just makes you want to throw a brick at a data server. For all the good that will do.
In a scripted speech before the United Nations yesterday, America’s renamer-of-everything-in-chief, declared that we’re no longer calling Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence. Heretofore it will be called Super Intelligence. Say the magic words, wave the magic wand and poof. The world’s your oyster.
Given the tech world’s penchant for naming things I’m guessing if any of the obeisant lords of the tech world take him up on this we’ll be seeing names like Super Intelligence ++ and Super Intelligence Ultra in the future.
Like I said, it’s all a bit ridiculous. The reality is this is the one name change that no one will pay attention to but the administration flunkies lacking in any intelligence whatsoever, and the remaining yet reportedly diminishing cadre of supporters who still wear their red hats and slop up his Truth Socials like gravy.
It’s one thing to be puffed up with so much ego that you think you can change the course of history just by opening your mouth. It’s another when you open it so wide you can’t see the entire world laughing at you from behind your gums.
I’m just surprised he didn’t call it Trump Intelligence.
