The executive order states: 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.
So individuals referring to AI when communicating with the government will probably get a response stating, “AI? What’s that?”

Does it specifically state "the executive branch"? That makes its applicability even more restricted.

Watched that once. Too much like my hillbilly cousins. Maybe try again some day.

Technically that hasn't been true since 1946, when the first pseudo-random number generator (middle-square method) was invented. I mean, even in the earliest computers, Alan Turing had built arguably the first true random number generator based on counting electrical white noise.
But anyway, while LLMs do use random numbers to determine acceptable substitutes for a word, it doesn't change the fact that it does exactly what it is designed to do. A speech to text program, even one based on AI (such as the AWS or Google ones,) doesn't autonomously decide to send malformed URLs and headers to hack a site. Or if you just ask ChatGPT a question, even a hacking one, it doesn't just autonomously decide to send it to some site instead of giving you an answer. If it had the capability to send malformed HTTP packets to a site that hacked it, then it was given that capability by its programmers.
And knowing that it can do that, someone failed to isolate it from the outside world.

It is a marvellous place.

Went through the area with a considerable naval force "a few years ago". Never made the news in the US insofar as I know. We kept the peace with strong promises of violence. Nothing more peaceful than a man with a MK. 48 torpedo up his butt.

Is this what you are talking about?
S.O.N.A.R. - Submarine Operators Not Actually Ready on Steam
S.O.N.A.R. (Submarine Operators Not Actually Ready) is a 1–4 player co-op submarine sim where teamwork is essential, panic is inevitable, and sinking is always one wrong button away. Use sonar, pilot, fight, repair, and pray your friends know what to do.

It does, at least twice in the text. I mean, you can check the actual text, it was linked to on page 185 of the thread.
It's still dumb AF, but you don't have to bother unless you're employed by the federal government and you're doing it as part of your job, or submitting anything to a federal agency. Otherwise nobody will drag you in front of a holy inquisition for using our AI overlord's name in vain. You're not going to be stoned for saying Jehovah like in Monty Python's movie.

Thereby proving the government are not super intelligent. QED.

It's so ridiculous I assume it has to be set up as a joke. But it's a pretty good one.

SI already has existing meanings, like
(Perhaps better known to Americans as "the Metric system".)
Sports Illustrated is another one.
I'm reminded of "newspeak" from 1984. How about Doubleplus Intelligence?

Spot on.
I'm kind of happy that I am able to answer "yes" though. I am 100% capable of getting through my day without AI.
I mean, you can get down in the weeds nitpicky with "but there's AI in google's search engine and all the ads you see and in a bunch of other stuff you can't avoid using!" Yeah, you're right, but that's irrelevant to the context in which the question was asked. I've been alive since computers were just learning to crawl. I spent my entire childhood in an era where the most advanced technology we had was a calculator - the yellowish one with the giant buttons, with the footprint of a kid's sized shoebox? Yeah, that one. I started using the internet before Yahoo! was first released. I started my career and spent my young adulthood in an era where there was no LLMs, no AI, and the most advanced trainable algorithm going was autocorrect that can't figure out that "meighborhood" is more likely to mean the people who live near me than it is to be a typo for "meteor", "mighty", or "meal".
I'll be fine if all AI were scrubbed overnight.
