https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2026/10/08/trump-calls-anyone-who-says-ai-instead-of-super-intelligence-an-enemy/

Excerpt of the executive order https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/09/inaugurating-the-era-of-super-intelligence/ from last week:

The terminology used by the Federal Government should reflect the transformative capabilities of these technologies and the limitless opportunities they create for the American people. Accordingly, the term “Super Intelligence” more appropriately captures the promise, potential, and rapidly advancing capabilities of these technologies. It is therefore the policy of my Administration that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the executive branch shall use the terms “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” and will not acknowledge the usage of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in any applicable setting.

    Someone should do some research about when and who bought all the .si domains from the first lady’s country

    Don’t get distracted. People should learn to not give irrelevant things any attention.

    People have loved to accuse the government of 1984-like behavior since the book first came out, but for real, this is actual 1984 shit.

      Yeah this is one of the few times you can call something Orwellian with a lot of accuracy.

      A shame his name got associated with a particular kind of totalitarian dystopia in my opinion, as he was a pretty interesting character in general. He definitely put his money where his mouth was, going to Spain to fight fascism and getting shot and nearly killed for his troubles. The term only really came into use after he died (a few years after the book was published) but I can’t help thinking he’d not have appreciated becoming a byword for the totalitarianism he spent his life opposing from the left. He certainly didn’t appreciate the book being used in the US to denounce socialism!

    Homie, you can’t even convince me to call it “AI.” It’s an LLM, an algorithm that pumps out letters in the order that we’ve taught it to calculate to be most desirable.

    Inevitable “well, ackshually”: yes, I know there are a lot of legitimate non-LLM models out there, but that’s not what the colloquial conversations are talking about, and importantly not what Trump is talking about, as he has no idea what he is talking about.

      “AI” doesn’t just mean LLMs, same as “Italian food” doesn’t mean spaghetti and “vehicle” doesn’t mean school bus.

          Absolutely wrong - The term Artificial Intelligence was coined by John McCarthy of Dartmouth in 1955. Machine Learning was coined 4 years later by Samuel something.

      Calling the modern state of products like Claude Code & kin “just an LLM” is like calling a modern car “Just some refined metal & plastic”. Or more to the point, why not call AI “just some math”?

      Yes the building block is an LLM. The layers of orchestration on top of that fundamental building block converts it into something else. Don’t call it AI if you don’t want to, but “just an LLM” is inaccurate at this point.

        I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as LLM, is in fact, Harness/LLM, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Harness plus LLM. LLMs are not a useful tool unto themselves, but rather another component of a fully functioning agentic system made useful by the Harness’s vector database, tool calling interface, and vital system components comprising a full agentic AI system.

        Many vibe coders run a modified version of the Harness system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Harness which is widely used today is often called LLM, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Harness system, developed by Anthropic, OpenCode, and so on.

        There really are LLMs, and these people are using them, but they are just a part of the system they use. The LLM is the underlying language model: the weights and biases that actually represent the statistical information contained within an enormous corpus of language. The LLM is an essential part of an agentic system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete harness. LLMs are normally used in combination with harnesses, the whole system is basically a harness with LLM added, or Harness/LLM. All the so-called LLM chatbots are really distributions of Harness/LLM!

        “Just an LLM” is honest. Implying it’s more than that is dishonest. Pretty simple really.

          Humans are just atoms, art is just combinations of materials, phones are just various metals & plastics, and a video game is just if statements.

            If you wanted to at least make sense you wouldn’t have gone out of your way to be comically reductive. “Humans are just advanced primates” would’ve been equivalent. But you knew that was the case, you were going for a hyperbolic phrase that insinuates stating an honest fact is super unfair. Weird af.

          Humans are just an assortment of atoms. The specific assortment doesn’t change that.

    Quick, somebody stitch all the times the dumbass posted on social media calling it AI and respond to him. Clearly, he knows where he stands.

    The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible.
