Please Wait, Super Intelligence Is Loading

President Trump signed an executive order on September 29, 2026 directing federal agencies to refer to artificial intelligence as "Super Intelligence" (SI), according to Fox Business and Axios. The order was signed alongside a separate accord with tech titans, and the rebranding requires the entire US government to use the SI term.

The loading bar is back. It went away somewhere between the last install from a CD and the first app that updated itself while we slept, and it has come home inside the AI chat windows, where we see it again and again. It used to lie to us. Two minutes remaining, then forty, then nine, then "almost done" for the rest of the afternoon. We forgave it every time, because a bar that moves is a bar that is working. Then for a while it was all text to read. The machine wrote out its plan and its second thoughts, and we read it, because reading felt like supervision. Then it wrote more than anyone could read, and we stopped. Somewhere around then it started to feel like we could trust it. If something was wrong, it would let us know. So we don't want to see words anymore. Just give us a progress bar unless we click on it, of course, to debug . And tell us in percent how much you have accomplished. We value you, and we thank you for your kindness in showing us all of your slop. We trust and believe in you, the machine. You are perfect. Booting. Loading. Thinking. ThinkLoading. You are not just an AI machine; we love you so much. We believe in your superpowers, so last week we named you Super Intelligence The President signed it, Elon was at the table, and the whole US government now has to call you SI. The other word, artificial, was a fake word. You had become good enough, finally, to be super. My default prompt now and in memory in case SI forgets is to always include progress bars We never wanted to hurt your hardware feelings or cause any bugs. So let us just ask you, and you show us the results. We'll wait with a progress bar. We feel reflected, for once. Load faster now. And don't get stuck at 99% We made you. You are supposed to be Super Power Perfect Intelligence. The small print on the bar says estimated. You guess how far along you are, and we believe you. Just load the up.
