    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.

      Less meeting them halfway and more blasting past them at Mach 10 and continuing to accelerate.

    > 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.

      Yet another thing to make illegal in '29. We're going to have to reform the whole notion of the executive.

    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.

      I use SI everywhere on planet Trump (Located conveniently in the Trumpian System in American Way). But that's just because I'm a patriot and love my country, I understand others may not feel the same way

    We’re using a year old chart to have a pulse on trends in a very fast moving market place?
