Excerpt of the executive order https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/09/inaugurating-the-era-of-super-intelligence/ from last week:

The terminology used by the Federal Government should reflect the transformative capabilities of these technologies and the limitless opportunities they create for the American people. Accordingly, the term “Super Intelligence” more appropriately captures the promise, potential, and rapidly advancing capabilities of these technologies. It is therefore the policy of my Administration that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the executive branch shall use the terms “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” and will not acknowledge the usage of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in any applicable setting.

    Except the M&Ms had an actual purpose. Van Halen was the band that made it famous.

    They were the first band to do pyro in small clubs…and it meant that their tech rider…There were such incredibly specific things on there that related to people’s well-being in the crowd …that if they came into the dressing room and the bowl of M&Ms wasn’t correct, they’d know that they had to go back through the entire tech rider to make sure everyone was safe

        Also, it makes people not using those terms do so with a slight amount of caution. They don’t necessarily want to be pooitical when talking about non political things and it creates a division by which word you choose. The point is to make people second guess the language they choose and be more careful about using normal safe language, so suppressing more radical language is a given.
