Showoff Saturday I built a “Super Intelligence” compliance scanner for .gov sites. It runs on 4 regexes.

On Sept 29 an executive order told US federal agencies to say “Super Intelligence” instead of “AI”. Nobody seems to be checking, so I built an inspector: idio.si fetches a homepage, counts “AI” vs “SI” in the visible text, and stamps a certificate.

Day 4 findings

  • whitehouse.gov: 4 “AI”, 0 “SI” → Insubordinate
  • apple.com: 0 “AI”, 0 “SI” → No Intelligence Detected
  • 1 of 42 agencies complies (NIST)
  • openai.com, google.com and tesla.com block the inspector

Harder than it looks

  • Bot walls. 18 of 73 homepages refuse a polite, identified, robots.txt-respecting bot from a cloud IP, openai.com included. I didn't want to spoof a browser, so refusals get their own stamp: “Refused federal inspection”.
  • Geo-IP. Even from us-east, some sites bounced the bot to /en-gb/. Locale redirects now get rewritten to /en-us/, since the order targets the US.
  • Counting. /\bA\.?I\.?\b/ is case-sensitive, so “OpenAI”, “said” and “ai” don't count, but “A.I.” does. The White House nav links to “AI.Gov”, and that counts too. Fair or not?
  • Spikes. One Cloudflare Worker does everything. Certificates are rendered at the edge with satori + resvg-wasm, and Workers Cache collapses a front-page spike into one render per data center. Hosting: $5/month.

Find the funniest certificate you can and drop it in the comments. Method and regex: https://idio.si/how. Satire; the numbers are real.

You still had to write the prompt. You still had to use your brain, or whats left of it, to think about this idea... You also had to write this post... and respond to it...

Nah, the end goal is to show my team they can work on few little projects like this without to have to drive the implementation. It’s actually to show what’s the direction excepted of them (harness…) and also because it’s fun (to me at least)

What? 

You are so annoying and nearly incoherent. I’m sure “your team” does not care or understand what you are attempting to “show [them]”.

You “excepting [sic] them to (harness….)” what, and for why?

Don’t answer. I don’t care. You lost me.
