Latest outburst comes as his push to rebrand the emerging technology increasingly falls flat

Donald Trump on Thursday opened up a new front in his ongoing war against commonly used terms and geographic names by warning that anyone referring to Large Language Models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude as ā€œArtificial Intelligenceā€ would earn themselves a place on his enemies list.

Writing on Truth Social, he declared that the White House ā€œconsiders anyone that uses the term, ā€˜Artificial Intelligence,’ as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, ā€˜Super Intelligence,’ THE ENEMY!ā€

The president’s outburst-cum-veiled threat landed just over a week after he signed an executive order directing executive branch agencies to begin referring to artificial intelligence, which is now embedded across the federal government, as ā€œsuper intelligenceā€ following a lunch with leaders in the AI industry, including Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai, Dario Amodei and others.

    The rest of the world are still calling the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Ontario and AI. We’re also cheering Iran and spitting on nathyahoo.

        I mean, Iran definitely is right to defend itself against Israeli-American aggression. They’re wrong about a lot of other things, but giving America, Israel and their allies hell for blowing up their country is objectively the right thing to do.

        I mostly agree. On the other hand, the US was settled by religious extremists who were not welcome in Great Britain because their religion differed from the state religion.

        They wisely saw that if the state established a religion, then a religion like theirs could be labelled as heretic. The result of that is that there is (or at least used to be) a separation of church and state in the US.
