Man, I know that ships are registered in a particular country, but now cars are too?

but "the Trump guy" who goes off using Trump phrases is noticeable, and it's not my overfocus to notice this in a thread that is largely about Trump.
Fair enough. I don't track usernames enough to have caught that.
He's not using "superintelligence" in its normal sense, but in its Trumpian sense.
The arguments fit a lot better with Culture Minds or Asimov's androids than with GPT-6 Astra or Claude Fable 5.1, IMO. There are still a lot of problems beyond the capacity of current-gen (or even next-couple-gen) LLMs, including some of the listed examples.

Superintelligence has a definition in AI research
Correct. That definition was stated in the comment you're objecting to, and followed through the rest of the argument. You are the one who brought Trump's use into this subthread.
none of our existing AI is superintelligence.
Again, correct. A comment starting with "I think that we will eventually..." is talking about the future, not the present.
Trump literally issued an Execute Order requiring the federal government to call AI "SI." Federal agencies are being required to scrub references to "Artificial Intelligence" and replace it with "Super Intelligence" in all their documentation. It is absolutely retarded.
That is what I am objecting to. It's not "TDS" because I hate anything Trump does. It's annoyance that Trump issued a "deer horse" EO.
...and you presumably brought up the executive order when someone was talking about arbitrarily-intelligent minds because you're overfocused on Trump.

Superintelligence doesn't exist yet, and something that knows
How to drive cars, how to design a new rocket ship part, how to identify defective potatoes on the factory line, how to build robots to paint your house, how to build more efficient chips to power the robots, how to build factories to build the chips...
is superintelligent. That's what they were discussing. They even distinguished it later with "the AI isn't quite good enough yet".
Disliking Trump's new definition enough to object to the same word in its original definition is one of the milder cases of TDS I've seen.
IMO, education is like dieting: Almost any deliberate choice followed faithfully will wildly outperform the Western standard. Everything past that is details.
