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.

    This is also ignoring the whole OpenAI thing. Are they gonna change they’re name or be ā€œthe enemyā€

      With the kind of greedy pussies that run these outfits, who knows. I could totally seeing them bending the knee because donnie dumbass had a brainfart the one day.

      It’s weird to live in these times. On the one hand, we are having breakthrough after breakthrough on so many levels. Things are definitely trending in the right direction on so many things over the decades. We may be on the brink of some really incredible progress in so many technological and scientific things.

      But then we get a total dipshit like this in the WH, ruining just about everything. And he’s just impossibly stupid.
