Superintelligence Has Authors, the US Government Is Not One of Them

By Leave a Comment

President Trump renamed artificial intelligence after a mind no one has built.

Executive Order 14434 gives today’s ordinary AI the name researchers reserved for an intellect beyond ours, and the minds who defined that word were not in the room. Basil C. Puglisi traces superintelligence from Turing and Good to Bostrom and shows how the order skips the AGI rung. The rename is a bad joke if superintelligence is far off and dangerous if the fears are right.

Human-AI Collaboration Needs More Than a Human in the Loop

By Leave a Comment

Human oversight of automated systems is older than AI, and current AI practice still falls short of it.

This paper traces human oversight and accountability from the cybernetics literature of 1948 to Article 14 of the EU AI Act, then separates Responsible AI from AI Governance. It sets out Checkpoint-Based Governance, where a named human holds binding authority to accept, modify, or reject an AI output and leaves a record, and it proposes the studies that would test it. It closes on the Growth OS, a future of work in which AI amplifies people instead of replacing them.

A Year Ago I Told You AGI Was Hype. Superintelligence Is Further Off Than Sold, and It Will Not End Us.

By 1 Comment

The machine is never the one who answers for what it does.

A September 2025 essay argued that AGI talk is usually about money and not reality. This September, Andrew Ng, Timnit Gebru, and Emily Bender reached the same point about responsibility from opposite sides of the AI debate. The piece separates real capability from the claims stacked on it, argues that superintelligence is further off than sold and will not end us, and moves from a human chain of responsibility to a real checkpoint.

Google’s Own Guide Makes GEO Hacks Optional for Google Search: Unique Experience Still Matters More for SMB Visibility

Google’s own Search guidance undercuts several paid GEO tactics.

Google says foundational SEO and unique, non-commodity content still matter for AI Overviews and AI Mode, while llms.txt, forced chunking, AI-specific rewrites, inauthentic mentions, and special schema are unnecessary for Google Search. The article separates Google-specific guidance from broader GEO research and shows what Search Console can actually measure.
