Super Intelligence

A contractor working for Super Micro has pleaded guilty to a scheme that diverted artificial intelligence servers equipped with Nvidia chips to China, in violation of US export restrictions. Reuters and California outlets including the Sacramento Bee and Tri-City Herald covered the plea, highlighting continuing enforcement of export controls on advanced computing hardware.

A Scottish tech commentator is pushing back against claims that generative AI is super intelligent, arguing the systems are merely artificially generated databases built on scraped information. They argue the technology cannot think for itself and fails to meet any real requirements for intelligence, adding they are willing to be called an 'Enemy of the People' for saying so.

A widely shared opinion piece argues that OpenAI's ongoing rhetoric about building superintelligence has become an embarrassment for the company. The claim, posted on Bluesky and discussed on Hacker News, reflects growing scepticism among tech observers about OpenAI's grandest artificial intelligence promises. Commenters are debating whether the company's messaging has outpaced what it can actually deliver.

Donald Trump reportedly declared that anyone using the term Artificial Intelligence instead of 'Super Intelligence' will be considered an enemy by the White House. The claim, shared on social media, is drawing mockery and criticism from commentators who call it absurd and another example of the administration's hostility toward independent experts, scientists and the tech sector's standard terminology.

Criticism is circulating that OpenAI's continued emphasis on developing superintelligence has become a humiliation for the company. The remark, shared widely on tech forums, frames the company's superintelligence ambitions as embarrassing rather than impressive, though it offers no new details about OpenAI's actual progress, announcements, or setbacks. No other evidence in the discussion substantiates or challenges the claim.
