Ok, but did they have to use Trump's "superintelligence" pet word in a sentence?

    ASI (artificial super [as in beyond human] intelligence) has been a research (and SciFi) topic for decades. Check out 'Person of Interest'for an easily accessible and somewhat prescient (in places) version.

    The tech bros redefined the language to their advantage. LLMs barely pass the Turing test (but they do, in certain circumstances, where predicting the next word works)

    Cheeto in Chief has no clue and a criminally uneducated populace (democracy requires education), even first past the post.

    Actual ASI is probably at least one and likely a few significant AI theory advancements away (but not that many years), and then it can self improve, which is the scary thing. The last thing we want is psycho/sociopaths in guiding that transition.
