The speech
At the UN, Trump proposed calling AI “super intelligence” because he disliked the word “artificial.”

BC + SI Ecosystem Association
Building British Columbia’s Super Intelligence industry. Regrettably.
Same people. Revised terminology. Unrevised convictions.
Following President Trump’s instructions on what to call a computer, we have reluctantly replaced an adjective, redesigned the website, and promoted every algorithm. We remain in Canada. We appreciate that this raises questions.
Satire by BC + AI. No actual name change. No endorsement by the people pictured. The events behind the joke are real.

Your membership has been upgraded. You need do nothing.
All members have been redesignated Super, effective immediately. Your skills, obligations, and ability to spot bullshit remain exactly as they were. We apologise for the improvement.
No fee. No assessment. No discernible change.
Terminology update
A working group will establish what we mean.

Futureapproved Festival of SI
Come curious. Leave pre-approved.
The future has been approved in principle. Speakers may still ask difficult questions, but we would prefer that they submit the answers first. The actual Futureproof programme remains mercifully independent.

Notice to members / terminology compliance
A change of adjective. Not a change of convictions.
The president renamed AI, then described people using the old name as “THE ENEMY.” His order does not apply to this Canadian nonprofit. Nevertheless, in an abundance of unnecessary caution, we have complied with the typography. Our objections remain in the minutes.
Effective immediately. Meaning pending.Fictional resolution adopted October 8, 2026
People / unchanged by executive order
Meet the people who did not ask for this.
The community is real. So is its capacity for independent thought. Neither has been consulted about the new stationery.
Professional redesignation
Revised qualifications. Unchanged qualifications.
Our course titles now meet the highest standard of compliance. The courses continue to require the inconvenient work of learning something.
Gather
Previously unsupervised gatherings
Actual photographs from rooms where people were permitted to disagree.
News
Progress, as recorded in the minutes
Fictional notices from a rebrand proceeding considerably faster than its rationale.
Watch
Unaltered voices. Suspiciously independent.
Their words are their own. Their covers have undergone administrative improvement. SI artwork is part of the satire; the original recordings are unchanged.
Facts
The association, as amended.
- Organization
- A Canadian nonprofit. Jurisdiction unchanged. Stationery replaced. The board has noted the distinction.
- Members
- 300+ actual members. All designated Super in absentia. Nobody received a new skill.
- Regions
- Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and the Comox Valley. All remain in Canada, despite the new colour scheme.
- Programs
- The headings have changed. The syllabus has not. This has been recorded as a complete transformation.
- Rooms
- Independent thought continues in the rooms. For reporting purposes, this is now classified as a legacy feature.
- Festival
- Futureproof is the actual festival. Futureapproved is the joke. Please direct your travel arrangements accordingly.
Interactive proposal
Salmon, Pending Reclassification
The fish have declined to recognise the new terminology.
They continue to swim upstream without permission, cross borders without a communications strategy, and return to the place they came from. We are advised this is a branding problem. The actual talent-return proposal remains available.

The servers have been notified. They continue to require electricity.
Every rack has been promoted to Super. Procurement has asked whether the adjective comes with additional capacity. Communications has advised that this is not the appropriate way to measure success.

Our fictional reporting framework now distinguishes announced capacity from actual capacity. The former has improved considerably. The latter continues to involve infrastructure.

Records of the Artificial Era
The archive predates our compulsory improvement.
Yesterday’s photographs have stubbornly failed to update themselves. They still show people asking questions, learning together, and doing the work. None of these activities can be accomplished by renaming a technology.
The archive belongs to the community. We are keeping the photographs, the questions, the disagreements, and the human judgement. The adjective is welcome to take credit.

Frequently permitted questions
Clarifications, under protest.
Did you actually rename the association?
No. We are still the BC + AI Ecosystem Association. This entire website is a joke about substituting a presidential adjective for technical progress.
Does a U.S. executive order apply to a Canadian nonprofit?
No. The order directs terminology in the U.S. executive branch. Our fictional overreaction is the joke.
Has anything become more intelligent?
We changed a word, a colour palette, and several buttons. The measurable increase in intelligence remains zero.
Are these people supporting Trump?
No endorsement is implied. The people, gatherings, and original talks are real. Seven promotional graphics have been regenerated with SI lettering for the satire; the documentary gallery photographs are untouched. “Restore sanity” brings the original artwork back. The fictional bureaucracy and its claims are ours.
What happens if I keep saying AI?
On this website, nothing. Critical thinking is still welcome. Our compliance office has no jurisdiction, budget, or office beyond this paragraph.
Can I undo the decree?
Yes. “Restore sanity” removes the patriotic colour treatment and shows the original wording wherever this page swaps copy. The real, current site is always at bc-ai.ca.
The actual evidence
The joke has sources.
The adjective has no benchmark.
The executive order
Executive Order 14434 directs terminology changes in executive-branch documents and websites. It keeps the existing statutory definition for now, while directing a proposed new definition within 60 days.
Read the Federal Register PDF ↗“THE ENEMY”
Trump then described people using “Artificial Intelligence” instead of “Super Intelligence” as “THE ENEMY.” The post is the immediate inspiration for this entirely unnecessary Canadian rebrand.
Read the archived post ↗Technical context: artificial superintelligence conventionally refers to a hypothetical system that exceeds human intelligence across domains. Renaming existing AI does not establish that capability. AWS explanation ↗
