> a chart produced by Apollo Global Management in September 2025

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

No, we are using that chart as inspiration for a new October 2026 chart with the latest numbers from the same underlying data source as the 2025 one:

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

Why does your username have an incel slur (e.g., "foid") in it?

fhdkweig 25 minutes ago | parent

It doesn't say "foid", it says "noid". If you were a child of the 1980s, you'd know The Noid.

It’s a clear spoonerism.

Reviewing post history, it's very clearly tongue-in-cheek. The user probably spends time in spaces that shit on incels and the like and is adopting the name ironically.

Well now you're just quoting Space Force doctrine.

(Esp. the second part.)

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.

It is sad knowing we are spending all this money on monuments that will just be spent all over again when we remove them in 2 years. And yes, these word/name changes are meant to be a monument, a tangible mark on history.

> 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)?

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.

I wish we could talk more about Natural Stupidity, which is the flip side of Artificial Intelligence, the seeming desire of humans to show that they are dumber than a machine.
