JUST NOW: President Trump announced the formation of the Super Intelligence Force (SIF) to ensure that "America continues to lead the world in super intelligence." đēđ¸ đ¨đŗ
The logic here is straightforward: American AI companies are ahead, the single biggest risk to that lead is domestic regulation that doesn't apply to competitors in Beijing, and the way you maintain safety without surrendering speed is to make the companies accountable to structures they helped design rather than to bureaucrats who'll be two generations behind by the time they finish writing the rules.
The race to superintelligence has exactly one rule that matters: whoever gets there first writes the terms for everyone else. Right now American companies hold that lead.
