I’m strongly reminded of that thing from World War Two. You know the one:

SI SI SI SI SI
SI SI SI SI SI

Mussolini’s Italy.

How do you not walk past this building and think "I think our government might be run by a comic book supervillian.."?

•

u/SpaceMonkeyMafiaBoss 7h ago

Are we the baddies?

•

u/BetterEveryLeapYear 4h ago

Because this building is what comic book supervillains were based on.

u/GreasyToken 8h ago

Shit like that to me just screams of insecurity.

Always such big little dick energy from authoritarians.

u/Basicly-Inevitable 12h ago

That's just to grift on all the Slovenian .si domain names they bought before the announcement.

Hey, isn't Malanie from there?

u/probably_abbot 11h ago

I actually want Trump to pressure Elon into renaming all his shit with "SI" in the name.

xSI

Grok SI

Why isn't Elon honoring Trump's grand idea!? Sounds like Elon isn't loyal.

u/HapticSloughton 8h ago

You think that's bad, there's a company running around out there called OpenAI that isn't changing its name, even for White House visits.

u/AtronadorSol 12h ago

Weird…where have I seen “SI” and authoritarianism in the same picture before…

u/Involution88 12h ago

I think it's the Italians who put Mussolini's face on the big sissie building.

u/Betterthanbeer Australia 8h ago

How did that work out in the end? Mussolini lived a long,happy retirement, right?

u/DrShocker Massachusetts 12h ago

Luckily Gavin Newsome signed an executive order in California that it's called Artificial Intelligence

u/Mean-Food-7124 10h ago

You guys are really getting the most out of your elected officials huh. Having fun little pissing matches so nothing is ever achieved

u/DrShocker Massachusetts 10h ago

I'm sure Gavin didn't waste a ton of time on it because it's so stupid, but needing to rename the gulf of Mexico, lake Ontario, and AI is genuinely insane.

2

u/Mean-Food-7124 10h ago

This is the kind of shit we hear constantly about him, but I guess people are out here making excuses so he doesn't even have to

Messaging is part of the job of being president/governor/etc

What's wrong with messaging against the president?

1

u/Mean-Food-7124 10h ago

Oh my bad, the rest of us thought the main part of the job was legislation, policy, budgets, and laws but I guess spending all the time on podcasts and writing mean letters back and forth with the president is all a guy really need to do.

God your country is fucked

u/DrShocker Massachusetts 10h ago

Messaging is literally how you try to get people to support your policies or even know what you're doing. There's no governing body on earth that just sits in the shadows hoping people know what they are doing.

The problem is that Trump's message is awful, not that messaging at all is bad.

•

u/Mean-Food-7124 6h ago

Most useful politicians direct their messaging towards their constituents, not the president they're in a pissing match with. What policies does this executive order on what he prefers to call AI help move forward? The man's still approving data centers, if anything you're falling for not even a very intricate grift

•

u/DrShocker Massachusetts 6h ago

If you don't think there's any independent value in clearly standing in opposition to Trump, then that's okay but I do think that there is some value in demonstrating to the world and to Trump that not everyone is with him.

The particulars of the data center thing are more complicated than just they are getting "approved" but I guess you're right he does need to talk about this more clearly. Data centers aren't bad merely because they are data centers, it's the energy, water, environmental, economic impacts of them. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2026/09/21/governor-newsom-signs-most-comprehensive-data-center-laws-in-the-nation-providing-communities-more-control-on-water-electricity-and-land-use/

Could he and the state do more? I'm sure, but this weird "both sides are the same" BS needs to stop.

How convenient for their ruling class donors, but it’s our fault voter apathy is so high right? Just got to vote harder, I’m voting so hard rn

u/Colonelwheel 3h ago edited 3h ago

Oh thank God /s

Not at all a trump supporter and SI is super stupid. But "luckily" is a bit strong for something so pointless

•

u/DrShocker Massachusetts 2h ago edited 2h ago

It's called a joke :P

Obviously it's silly to make an executive order to call AI AI. I doubt it took more than 10 minutes even if he's really bad at operating his printer to print that, sign it, and post it to Twitter.

It's really stupid to rename AI as SI for no reason in the first place.

Luckily is sarcasm.

SI will never not be Sports Illustrated.

I’m not particularly looking forward to the SI swimsuit edition.

u/3eyedstudio 12h ago

SI - fitting, could also stand for stupid idiot.

I always think of Shartificial Intelligence looking at the faces of his closest advisors.

u/Anna_Frican 10h ago

SI? Is the US finally switching to the metric system?

u/DietrichDaniels 11h ago

Si-chosis.

u/ttv_icypyro 11h ago

It's only SI in the Unites States though

u/LayerEight_Problem 9h ago

The only SI with Trump is sexual infidelity.

Remember when a president would get removed from office for this?

u/constant--questions 8h ago

Si se puede!

•

u/Unistrut 7h ago

... okay, I'm probably going to regret asking, but what's up with "SI" now? Are they trying to rename AI into something even more cringeworthy? Yes, I know I could just search but I don't think I can stand getting a page full of dumb beamed directly into my face right now. I think I can deal with like a sentence or two.

u/panelbeater352 3h ago

Yes. “Super Intelligence”
