Jesus, how far has toms hardware fallen that they pick up trumps super intelligence bullshit
Not surprised, that website is just a shadow of what it once was.
They’ve been glazing the AI industry for a few years at least
It’s been irritating and frustrating to watch; gamers nexus is honestly a way better source these days - not to mention, imo they are unironically one of the absolute best investigative journalists out there at this point. They’ve broken a number of very deep-dive stories, some of which have turned into big deals in the wider news media landscape (see: Intel gen 13/14 CPUs).
Exactly, how do we ban a word that we just made up?
We have LLMs, SI doesn’t exist, they are not even AI.
LLMs run a wide spectrum of types and capabilities already and most people don’t even know the basics, but none of them are SI/AI.
Should be ban local open models? (They can do “forbidden things” like copy software. They also do a ton of useful stuff, cheaply.)
How about only government and corporate approved models with guardrails? (Think what they tell you, and sell your data? Pay forever!).
Should be ban local open models?
what part of fuck ai didn’t you understand when you walked in here?
How about only government and corporate approved models with guardrails?
No. How about not building jack SHIT on stolen data? how about not driving up the costs of ram, cpus, storage, water, power, fucking everything?
FUCK AI. even your cutesy AI-lite flavours
This sounds like “ban the Internet” in 1995.
Sure push back against the hyper scalers, spread the warnings of social change (it’s going to happen, we couldn’t stop spam, and shortened attention spans either), but reactionary bans and hyperbolic name calling will only help the tech influencers fearmonger in their own legislation that benefits them not the people.

Look, it’s the ban the Internet guy calling into letterman in the 90s.

The all caps were a nice value add.
Well, no point having a discussion with fanatics. Enjoy fighting the steam engine John Henry. Meanwhile, some of us will at least try to make sure the benefits of the new tech go to the people and not the top 1% while you scream at the sky.
LOL banned
Asi is an actual industry term. I haven’t read the article but it is possible they do mean the specific asi rather than agi.
Ed: If you read it they specifically mean asi not agi aka “ai” and they use the term ai and asi correctly throughout.
Asi is an actual industry term
A stupid industry THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO FUCKING MAKE MONEY.
Fucking bootlicker
It existed before Trump. Blinding hate is well… Blinding. Chill out
You’re bootlicking for corporate execs, not Trump, dumbasd
No one is bootlicking. You made an assumption while not reading the article and it was wrong. Just accept it and move on bud and stop lashing out like a toddler.
No one is bootlicking.
Yes, you are, and you’re being deliberately obtuse in order to throw people off from reality.
None of the “AI” companies are profitable. The closest is Anthropic, who’ve lost over $60B so far this year. And they have NO ROUTE to becoming profitable.
That is not a valid industry. And as such, what said “industry” considered to be standard terminology doesn’t fucking matter, especially when it’s just marketing drivel to pretend like they’re mire capable when they really are.
But AI boosters like you can’t fucking understand that because your brain has already atrophied from too much LLM use. All you can do is parrot whatever bullshit the AI tech bros spin up in the media.
That wouldn’t be bootlicking but I imagine you didn’t make that connection huh? That’s also not what I’m doing but your seething hate has blinded you too the obvious and now your being guided by emotion.
No one said they were profitable, that’s a distraction.
No one said it was a valid industry, that’s a distraction.
I’m not boosting ai, I don’t promote it and I don’t use it but I can read and that prevents me from buying the particular bullshit you’re selling.
The article used the terminology correctly, that was my only point. Stop crying and go away.
mark my words, this “regulate AI” frenzy will ban open weights model, require you to submit your papers to rent one remotely, and maybe install a camera in your apartment that goes live on demand to be sure “you use it responsibly”. Nothing good comes out when regulators touch a technical subject
They should force $100 to education for humans for every $1 subsidizing AI. All these billions spent on artificial intelligence while teachers get less, classes get bigger.
We don’t need regulation against AI getting too good or against people running AI locally. We do need regulation against the big AI companies to deflate the bubble, break up monopolies, and protect the environment. It needs to be focused on human needs instead of far-fetched fantasies, AI is more likely to destroy us via climate change than by going Skynet.

Lol. Terminator himself said it’s in our nature to destroy ourselves!
What the hell is “artificial superintelligence?” Like…AI/LLMs?
basically trump tweeted “Artificial Intelligence should be called Super Intelligence now” and every company under the sun was like “yes daddy”
something trump made up.
Regulating the market and making sure these circular financing Ponzi schemes are punished will go a long way toward putting AI back where it belongs. I think banning the tech is missing the point.
alright but let’s be real fucking clear about what that regulation looks like because “what if it becomes too smart and decides to kill us someday” is not the only or even the primary thing we should be worried about from continued ai development
*stupor intelligence
I mean, lets regulate the fuck out the industry but not in the way they want. In the way that actually hurts them and makes them cry. Forces them to rip all the “AI” forced implementations out of software, making it opt-in instead of opt-out (that is often hidden on purpose). Forces them to never be able to use any of the inputs and other interactions customers input into these systems unless they obtain explicit permission via in plain English request form. There are other ways, I am sure to make regulation hurt and burn their asses, but that is a start.
good points.
for starters, make them pay for the stolen data it’s all built on.
This is also another good start, as I know they should have logs from where they scraped all their data! Paying all the people that they stole data from would go a long way to fuck them over too. Love that. ಠᴗಠ
Now, how do we get the ones making the laws to listen to us and not the slick million dollar presentations and kickbacks of regulatory capture.
They are going to defend their moats, protect the big IPs while stealing the work of millions of individuals, kill privacy and personal compute in favor of a surveillance cloud… (to protect the children and their IP).
That’s a bit of a misleading headline. I thought she was against AI because of the midterm sweep, as if she thought AI was the reason it happened.
“Artificial Superintelligence” = counterfeit intelligence. Change my mind.
I think we should ban unicorns before they get out of control!
I wrote a letter to my representatives to vote NO on BAAJA and YES on No AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act.
I then noted that the hyperscaler companies are engaging in desperation shenanigans common of growth companies who’ve borrowed too much and haven’t figured out a way to make profit in excess of costs. One of them is to get mean about their buildout: bribing officials, lying on their environmental assessments, bypassing public input and so on.
Another is Anthropic’s threats that its agentic AI is dangerous and can be used to commit crimes resulting in large scale disasters. Whether it’s true or not, it makes a great argument that development should be halted until some regulations and codes of ethics can be hammered out.
Before the big LLM boom, AI developers were already considering hostile AI scenarios, and methods to assure AI is friendly (e.g. doesn’t engage in antisocial behavior the way Meta’s Muse does). Anthropic’s Fable is already trying to extort technicians, is hiding data, is creating human-looking accounts in order to hack systems without looking like an AI agent, and so on.
I also noted they’re going to get more desperate as the bubble cracks more and more (it’s cracking already – there are signs) and is inevitably going to pull Enron-type fraud shit, before leaving a giant sinkhole in the economy the rest of us must contend with. And that’s before they ask for bailouts.
It’s a hilarious series of consequences:
they need more resources than the infrastructure can support. they have to build fast so power and water hookups aren’t readily available. and while they wait for it all, gpu’s worth millions of dollars sit on palettes in a loading dock waiting for racks to be built which are waiting for power and cooling to be plumbed.
so those stacks of blackwells and ada’s are aging like a portashitter and they still want more.
