>… US Weather Bureau didn't have to humiliate itself by talking about "The Gulf of America", 

 

Some Americans hate America, but not all.  John you are making assumptions about the US Weather Bureau.

 

 

>…"A broad area of low pressure could form over the next few days over the southwestern Gulf of America".

 

Rejoice John, America’s troubles may not be over.

 

>…Donald's … renaming Artificial Intelligence to Super Intelligence is actually accurate, but probably not a smart thing to do from a public relations point of view. People already dislike Artificial Intelligence, they're going to hate and fear Super Intelligence.

This is a good thing that this politician you don’t like is damaging himself from a PR point of view, ja?  

 

I don’t see why not call it superintelligence.  We aren’t trying to sell super intelligence, we are trying to figure out how to align with it.  Nick Bostrom went that way with his excellent book on the topic.  Superintelligence is really a better description.  I look at the suggestions BillK’s AI made on taxonomy of future SAI and recognize it as a better idea than the one I had to start with.
