In July, there was a sudden spike in .SI (Slovenia) domain name sales, and now that Trump has announced AI will be rebranded SI, their owners are attempting to resell them for millions of dollars.
No one is going to use “superintelligence”.
There’s too much culture surrounding “AI”.
This is like Twitter renaming themselves “x”.
What a stupid grift lol
Also genuinely only idiots think it surpasses human intelligence in any way whatsoever.
I understand the anti Ai sentiment, but “any way” is quite broad. Yes calling it super intelligence right now is a grift, but saying current frontier models are not better than humans in any respect is just as ridiculous. They are better at reviewing code for example, can make sense of large sections of unintelligible spaghetti like no human can.
There’s some cleverness behind it. The government is legally mandated to only refer to AI as SI, so that will theoretically boost the value of the squatted domains among the people obsessed with the stuff.
Even a gold rush can enrich a shovel salesman.
The same cleverness involved in not paying for pianos that have been supplied to you, sure
I hope Elon has to spend a few billion to rebrand xAI now.
.si = stochastic inaccuracy, not ‘super intelligence’.
Their new owners, right? Like bought last week? Scams everywhere.
Even farther back - the biggest chunk was bought all the way back in July !
It’s almost like there is rampant corruption going on or something!!
This is why I needs a character with the tops and bottom lines, I thought it was Sl not SI…okay yes different if I recalled upper case but brain doesn’t always differentiate properly at first glance between upper and lower case (unsure if noticable second one was lower case L, but confusing helps make my point).
Also just another grift from the tangerine con man. I bet he barely knows what’s going on these days just shouts at things until they pump him fill of medicatiins to be as coherent as we’re used to seeing. Thankfully for their work, he was rarely coherent.
