The U.S. Census Bureau and "Super Intelligence"

I think when it comes to making machines smarter than humans, Executive Order 14434 represents an admirable effort by this administration to meet the machines halfway.

> Beginning with the October 19, 2026 collection, instrument wording was updated due to Executive Order 14434.

But hang on, surely “(formerly referred to as Artificial Intelligence or AI)” fails the provision in §1¶3 “not acknowledge the usage of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ and ‘AI’ in any applicable setting” (admittedly not reiterated in §2 or §3)?

Its showing up in all the NIST stuff now too. Gave me quite mid-meeting snort when I saw that.

You have SI now over there, next up, SI units!

I only use Super Intelligence (SI) in Lake America, in the Gulf of America, and maybe soon in the Trump Ocean. In there it's a Golden Age like nobody's ever seen before. Everywhere else I just use AI.

As a business owner I get these surveys. In times past I'd spend a bunch of time responding, on the theory it's my duty to help the government gather accurate statistics. Now I delete the emails on arrival since the government is under the control of goose-stepping imbeciles who wouldn't know good data if it smacked them in the head.

This is that fun active domestic propaganda, like when they started calling remote controlled quadcopters "drones" in order to justify murdering people by remote control.

Or when they rebranded financing terrorism into "material support for terrorism," loudly promising, over and over again, calling everyone who questioned them conspiracy theorists, that the word "material" was always going to mean physical and never mean speech (and never almost immediately mean clear and unambiguous.)

Bernie is leading the charge here. What an abject disappointment. Ancient Vermont commies tried to tell me but I didn't listen. Trump has a long history of taking the often dumb, often evil stuff that Democrats say and immediately stealing it for himself - ever since he got birtherism from the PUMAs (Party Unity My Ass), or "Fake News" directly from Hillary Clinton.

Nothing sounds more scary than invading foreign superintelligence! Better root all those computers so they can't run anything unapproved.
