Zhao Gao presented AI to the emperor. “SI,” he declared. The ruler laughed. “Surely that’s AI?” He asked the courtiers. Those who said it was AI were punished with exile from Mar-a-Lago. Those who said SI were given golden showers of appreciation from the ruler. 指鹿為馬, now with Prime delivery.

These guys started saying “AI” because it was a cool term from scifi for a thing everyone thought was cool. It became a term for a thing that sucks because they started using it to describe a thing that sucks so bad
SI will always mean Sports Illustrated to me first and foremost, but the first thing I think of when I hear those letters is suicidal ideation, which is serious and something I have to navigate with clients daily. Good luck with the rebrand, fellas.
All that “High T” really has gone to his head—& bootlickinhg must be dizzying? But ffs Baier could’ve had Bezos clarify if he prefers SI to AI because it’s somehow a problem that 1) “artificial” is unflattering to eugenics plagiarism machines or 2) that humans aren’t attracted to “artificial”?
Sure...THAT'S the real reason people loathe AI, it's because of the word "artificial" -- makes TOTAL sense. It's not because of the world-killing data centers or soul-killing surveillance technology, it's the WORD. (Funny, Bezos' 2nd wife looks 100% artificial--didn't stop him from marrying her.)
The "SI" thing is was intended to provoke this exact sort of sniveling response from the courtiers, to train the oligarchs to humiliate themselves for Trump so they'll do it again later when it really matters.
Theory: this SI thing is not basic Trump stupidity. This is a rebrand that the tech bros washed through Trump because AI sucks and they need to change the narrative so they got him to say it out loud and now they can all jump in and be like “yeah actually he’s right”
SI is extremely dumb. But AI was dumb too, so I look forward to this nonsense leading to better nouns in general.
Reporter: “The President says SHIT (Super Human Intelligence Technology) rather than AI. Are you into SHIT?” Craven Silicon Valley Billionaire: “I really like SHIT”
Jeff Bezos is the 2nd richest person in the world yet he's still a sad suck-up to Trump in order to protect his ability to exploit his workforce and make even more money. Greed and humiliation before pride and decency. That's the Bezos way.
Is he not aware that whether you call it artificial or super that it still doesn't make it real? It has no critical thinking skills, it has no feelings, is only as good as the programmers behind it, and it doesn't have a brain, technically. If you pull the plug, it no longer works.
I know why these shitheads want to rebrand AI but I don’t think people will appreciate the obvious implication that humans are Inferior Intelligence
Nobody wants artificial, says the man with a wife made primarily of plastic
But artificial differentiates it from real, human intelligence Jeff, doesn't that bother you? No, humans don't bother me at all
Bezos seems to do okay being an artificial human.
It’s sort of pitiful isn’t it. How long into the next term do you think he’ll continue to use S.I.? Hours? Seconds?
These guys are all such toadies. Everyone knows “artificial intelligence” sounds cool.
Spoken like a guy who rented Venice to marry an AI-generated hologram. 🤔
AWS Already uses this name, Bezos, you bootlicking freak aws.amazon.com/what-is/supe...
Thanks Jeff Bezos. I will now refer to it as 'intelligence-lite' or IL
Imagine being the second richest man in the world and grabbing ankle for Donald fucking Trump
What the fuck is the point of having stupid money if you still have to be so fucking stupid
Has he met his wife?
