It'll be interesting because like calling it "AI" specifically was such an insane epochal marketing win considering it's not actual AI. Changing names like this is surely a path to detaching it from whatever awe and wonder laymen have for it?

100%

So, is OpenAI changing their name? I'm sure they're thrilled.

Apple and Google already shown they are cowards with the Gulf. Lets see these fools squirm.

Inaugurating the era of fucking morons.

SI actually stands for Stupid Ignorance

Trump just misses the swimsuit issue.

Test working as intended

Trump says AI will fix everything.... Bc it is as smart as him. But he is an orange Cheeto.

Okay but none of the obvious jokes

What next, “Very Great Bigly Super Intelligence”?

Fun fact, it was not that uncommon for people left in stocks overnight to be involuntarily sodomised. So… I agree!

President Trump is going to rename cheese “hard milk” because so many USians don’t realise that it is a dairy product. This change is just to pay tribute to great US cows and yummy US hard milk. Too bad if the publishing industry needs to pulp a lot of old-fashioned books with “cheese” in them.

It’s a SI-bboleth.

from Artifical to Synthetic

Like US' super murder and super poverty and super tariffs

What I was hoping for "Intelligence of America" ?

Hence the hugging face attack drama - they prompted it to use subterfuge and not report but 'oh no! It's alive and dangerous' and 'we're not releasing our latest model it doesn't pass safety checks' like they give a fuck

You are, genuinely, one of the reasons I feel Sane

Google (“Lake America”) not yet calling them SI overviews. OpenAI legal probably pulling an all nighter for name change to OpenSI tomorrow. Brockman looked psyched.

There is no way to spin this. It isn't intelligence, it isn't like intelligence, and it isn't like a simulated intelligence. These things have no relationship to the concept of intelligence as it relates to living, thinking beings.

' Do they know that means that "AGI" will never be achieved? So Microsoft will never have to pay up? And that SGI has already been taken? Yet another own-goal, in a long, long line of own-goals. 😑

I will refuse to say that phrase anywhere between Lake Ontario and the Gulf of Mexico.

Similar vibe.

Why not go right to TI? Guess what the T stands for?

For him, renaming something is the same as stealing it and claiming it for your own.

Zuckerborg is the best lovebot that greed can buy.

nah its not even about that its that zuck like all the rest of them has convinced himself if they dont butter up the AI now when it becomes a sentient god it will torture him forever

No, I'm sorry, in nuclear world it stands for Safety Instrumentation. Or if you're trying to make friends with the operators, Sports Illustrated. The only thing we think about AI is Unacceptably High Error Rate.

At least game devs might be able to go back to using AI as the terminology for npc/entity behaviors/pathfinding without people getting it confused with the slop machines.

My hot take is I kinda like it, as a way to separate Gen AI and other actually useful forms of AI. The AI boosters have tried so hard to associate all AI with Gen AI and it would be really funny if this just undoes it.

In case there was any doubt, Trump is an idiot.

Statistical Inference. No intelligence involved.

You will obey!

Unfortunately federal agencies will have to reinforce this stupidity

"What kind of a sycophant are you?" "What kind of a sycophant would you like me to be?" Disney did that joke in a movie *for children*.

Partly stolen bsky.app/profile/dr-p...

On the few occasions I've had to use AI, I can confirm it was as super and intelligent as a Trump voter. So this kind of checks out.

Which number rebranding of “genAI” are we on now? I think this is the fourth?

Sooper.

Or "Trump brain"

#StolenInformation

The thought that no-one in Trump's inner circle had the awareness and the courage to stand up and say "but SI already means something, and it's completely different".

Nah, I'm happy to let them call slop machines "SI" from now on. That disambiguates it from conventional AI. Let them sabotage themselves by giving it another name, and losing any kind of cover they had from, "There is useful AI."

If everyone starts pronouncing SI like the Spanish "Sí," Trump will go back to calling it "AI" very quickly.

How about a compromise - Superficial Intelligence.

Watch it be his youngest son, who likes computers and the Tate bros.

As he has no authority over language it's just another Emperor's New Clothes. Mind, what's called AI isn't either.

This reminds me of the Twitter / X rebranding which, years later, still has people divided into two camps

It's an essential component of fascism, going all the way back to term 1, day 1 and Sean Spicer insisting the national mall had been packed.

Who elected this dumb shit?

You can easily rename something that never was an AI in the first place so it doesn't matter. Just another day where the elite sniff their own farts and act like its the stuff of legends.

Watch Jensen Huang try to say SI hundreds of time to a baffled crowd at the next COMPUTEX keynote. My guess is: it won't happen.

The Emperor's New Clothes test

Which includes the Library of Congress, unfortunately

SI StupidIdiot

Hes Nutz !!...to think this latest will distract from the EPSTEIN/TRUMP Files..

Aren’t you proud of our intellectually challenged Presidunce. He learned a new word and wants everyone to join him in using it. Lovely. Super. Just fucking super you imbecilic pedophile.

As he equates himself with super intelligence, how long before he decrees that AI shall be known as Trump Intelligence?

*looks at Gulf of America and Lake of America* Yeah, so about those backbones...

Exactly.

Will open AI be changing the name of the company?

Think S.I. here means Shit Intelligence

Every time I think the worst humiliation on the world stage has occurred to our country through his inanities, Trump comes up with a fresh hell of humiliation and stupidity. There is something intrinsically wrong with this guy, and anyone who agrees with him. He’s going to haunt us forever…

This is also a good "these guys are so weird" moment for Dems. Normal people will think SI is for freaks

Trump can shove SI up his ass.

This is the same person with a social media app called Truth Social.

Pompous Arse = tRump

They want of course the tech giants to bow down to them and so interesting Altman was not there … and nor Apple in any form

Ooook. I'll accept the term SI: Slop Intelligence

Compared to him, it is super intelligence.

I prefer my Intelligence to be Supreme so it comes with sour cream and shredded cheese

Super Duper.

Everything he says is basically "What will you say to demonstrate that you are prepared to live in my reality?" The odder the reality, the more apparent the performance.

When the billionaires came to the inauguration, it meant zero corporate pushback. These are testing our bounds. Like journalists arrested in Russia for calling the war, a war. Renaming things and arresting people for calling them old names is a tactic

Trademark test more like… way to muddy the waters while cashing in. Stave off any litigation regarding “AI” while simultaneously trademarking “SI”

I'm kinda okay with this - in Polish language, AI translates into "sztuczna inteligencja" or "SI" for short, which means I can stick to using just one acronym across both languages. 😆
