Trump Sparks Suspicious Gold Rush For .SI Domains
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.
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!!
I hope Elon has to spend a few billion to rebrand xAI now.
Trump sees opportunities for corruption everywhere.
.si = stochastic inaccuracy, not ‘super intelligence’.
What does S stand for?
I’m personally all for rebranding “AI”, because current “AI” is not intelligent. Before current “AI”, the term AI meant that a computer would basically have human skills combined with computer skills, and current “AI” certainly falls short in many human skills.
Super
Now that’s even more stupid than calling it “AI”

No one is going to use “superintelligence”.
There’s too much culture surrounding “AI”.
What a stupid grift lol

Also genuinely only idiots think it surpasses human intelligence in any way whatsoever.
