The already bullshit concept of an “AI” super intelligence had a definition. This renaming is completely nonsensical and nullifies the original meaning.
Trump should keep going.
He should raname the Atlantic, the American Ocean…
Rename the moon Trump. Not Trumpworld, just Trump
Antarctica is now Cold America. We can’t expect Trump or MAGA to comprehend America Australis
Canada is now Canadian America even though it makes no sense. Greenland is now Green America even though it’s famously not Green at all, but glacial white.
I want to see if Google and Apple will still humor him, no matter how unhinged he gets. I want to see them shouting to the world how Trump is absolutely the best-dressed emperor in the world.

They will, yes.
Dumbass thinks a rebrand is going to help.
From the man with a complete lack of intelligence.
A donkey has more intelligence than Don the Con.
I’m renaming trump to “worst president and dumbest motherfucker ever”
Well one of you has a good point the other an orange face.
Has there ever been a headline that starts with “Trump says” and the rest of the sentence is just normal? Does he ever just do normal?
No. He’s a narcissist so his “juice” is fighting over what he said.
Why not rename tap water to “gazoline”?
Google and Apple soon to follow, I’m sure, like the good little lickspittles they are.
Why does the Onion publish articles in the Verge nowadays?
‘The most uneducated buffoon in history stands at a podium, bloated with self-importance, lips pursed like a carnival barker ready to sell turd milk to the unsuspecting. He grins a grotesque smirk stretched across his face as he scrawls his name onto a hollow decree, a sham celebration of the dismantling of knowledge itself. The Department of Education falls, not with a bang, but with wheezing verbs, suffocated under the weight of his own staggering ignorance. Surrounding him are the usual suspects: cowards in expensive suits, servile sycophants clapping like trained seals, and racist opportunistic ghouls picking clean the bones of democracy. Liars, fools, and thieves all parasites fattening themselves on the hardships of the many. They stand in rigid formation, dead-eyed and soulless, their allegiance sworn not to country, not to principle, but to power, and the dark, festering rot that clings to it. And there he is the convicted wrong, the living embodiment of septic tank spew, his voice a noxious fog of grift and grievance. He lectures the world on right and wrong, irony clawing at the walls, desperate to escape the grotesque theatre of his moral void. The stomach turns, the air curdles, and for a moment, history itself recoils watching, in horror, as the great American experiment teeters on the precipice, led by a man who couldn’t spell “precipice” if his life depended on it.’
This was too good of a read, do you write books? 😭
I’m renaming AI to ‘virtual intelligence’
CW: contains Spotify link
I prefer to call it virtual insanity myself
Pirating is ethical, spotify is not!
Nice, now the US can’t lose the AI race against China because they’re developing another thing now — super intelligence…
AI is developing extremely quickly. In another 2-5 years, they’re going to invent a computer that can tell you to flip over a cup to drink from it.
and it will tell you why there are 2 R’s in strawberry. We’re just too stupid to understand.
“Ah, I see, so it’s one of those reversible designs!”
Super intelligence indeed!
Have you ever seen Trump drinking. It’s all a matter of perspective
we (America) will never recover from the humiliation inflicted by this moron.
Nor do you deserve to.
You created the culture that put him there. You allow him to remain there. None of the problems associated with Trump have much to do with Trump and have everything to do with your broken culture.
And China basically recovered from their century of humiliation. Now let’s see how this will go for America long term.
Americans elect a moron to the presidency every ten to fifteen years going back to the country’s founding.
It’s not a matter of recovery so much as a hurdle that liberal democracy routinely stumbles over.
George W. Bush was not that long ago. He (too) won with a popular minority. He won by shenanigans in Florida with the help of a partisan SCOTUS.
Bush ran as a compassionate conservative_ but he moved hard-right as soon as he was in office. He started abusing power such as his conspicuous legal-boilerplate signing statements. (Essentially, _I don’t have to enforce this law, IF i don’t want to.) He immediately started rolling back environmental and consumer protections.
Then 9/11 happened, and we went to war, and language started pivoting towards Iraq and WMDs. Joseph Wilson wrote an article about how there’s no yellowcake (processed uranium) and to get revenge, the administration (via Scooter Libby) burned the CIA operative Valerie Plame, which was once a huge offense to the intelligence sector during the Cold War. I’m still sore about it, but I’m still sore about much of the Bush administration.
Soon we started learning about the extrajudicial abductions of Arab, Muslim, Americans, extraordinary rendition (to black sites), torture, the prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, the PMC black ops (precursors to drone-strikes) and so on.
It was awful. So much that the Democrats were taking seriously blaxk and women candidates for the first time. So much so, that Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize, mostly for not being Bush. (Even he was surprised.)
I thought the US would never elect a Republican again.
I totally overestimated the civic savvy of American voters.
I don’t know that its ever been quite as much a moron as this guy. Dubba was dumb, but not “rip out USaid” dumb.
Love 'em or hate 'em, most presidents (or at least their cabinets) understood that the laws and institutions of the country were all broadly weighted in their favor, even if that meant occasionally accepting this or that particular limitation.
Dubba was dumb, but not “rip out USaid” dumb.
No. He just put the Judges and Stewards Commissioner for the International Arabian Horse Association in charge of FEMA right before one of the worst hurricanes in the nation’s history. Then he put John Bolton, a man even Donald Trump dunked on as a war-mongering idiot asshole, into the position of UN Ambassador. Oh, and he put Scalia - a man who recited 15th century poetry to defend a moratorium on gay marriage - on the SC. Oh, and don’t forget putting Jeff Gannon in the White House press pool.
most presidents (or at least their cabinets) understood that the laws and institutions of the country
You are off your fucking rocker if you think Bush 43 either understood or respected the laws and institutions of the country. We were dealing with a Constitutional Crisis every other week during the last two years of his Presidency.
Go back to Reagan, Nixon, fucking Eisenhower. Nevermind how corrupt and mendacious folks in the LBJ and Carter and Clinton administrations ended up being. It’s all the same shit, different days.
Trump feels worse because we’re so far removed from the Golden Era of the New Deal that we’ve forgotten politicians can even be “good” in a proper sense. And when even the gritty Cold War jerk-off of the 1980s are a distant memory, we’ve forgotten that we’re all supposed to be playing on the same team even if we don’t like the Head Coach. It’s the naked infighting that makes this modern moment suck so much. Sending gestapo in to drag women by their hair and shoot paramedics in the face is shit you do in Vietnam or Iraq, not LA or Minnesota.
Trump is Imperialism coming home to the Core. But the policies are as American as Apple Pie.

I did not mean to say he “respected” them, far from it. But he did successfully reshape them. Bush did more to redefine US policy in the 21st century than any other president to come after. What does it matter that he ran up against constitutional crises, when the Democratic administration to succeed him just adopted most of his changes as the new normal?
I’m trying to say that while Bush reshaped and redefined US institutions for those to come after, Trump is just breaking them. There is no way for a successor administration to use USaid, because there just is no USaid anymore. And I suspect Dems will shrug and accept that world as the new normal as well (hell, they’ll probably keep ICE largely unchanged and claim its different now that they’re in the drivers seat).
Please please please rename it American Intelligence. Something to finally pop this bubble.
I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have bombed that school full of children. That was wrong.
in response (To the AI): what was your first clue?
