x/donald-john-trump
— 12h
A new poll finds that most Americans believe AI is developing too quickly, and about 8 in 10 want the government to prioritize keeping it under human control and protecting workers. Concern crosses party lines, though Americans have little confidence in either party’s ability to manage AI; separately, New York City officials are pressing AI companies for accountability as they consider new safety rules.

Justice Department Adopts ‘Super Intelligence’ for AI
x/donald-john-trump
— 2d
The Justice Department has directed employees to use “super intelligence” or “SI” instead of “artificial intelligence” or “AI” in official communications and, where legally appropriate, court filings, following President Donald Trump’s executive order requiring federal agencies to adopt the terminology. The rebranding is presented by the administration as reflecting the technology’s growing capabilities, while critics say it may confuse legal records and does little to address concerns about AI risks.

At the same time, districts are experimenting with uses such as social-emotional chatbots, even as concerns mount about students outsourcing schoolwork and reports link frequent AI use with weaker academic performance.

Arkansas history on September 19–20 features a spectrum of notable events: Civil War skirmishing near Helena in 1862, the 1883 marriage of future governor George W. Donaghey, and the 1923 Little Rock police murders death sentences; 1944 Magnolia’s oil-fire disaster that claimed three firefighters; the 1957 Central High School desegregation injunction hearing that led to the guards’ withdrawal; and the 1974 Young v. Ethyl Corporation bromine litigation. The dates also record 1863 Cavalry organization at Magnolia, 1917 Fort Smith labor strike, 1942 Jehovah’s Witnesses attack in Little Rock, 1957 legal challenges surrounding Little Rock desegregation, the 1958 vote to keep closed schools, and Kennedy’s Arkansas campaign in 1960.
