The spy chief now runs Super Intelligence
“They outlawed the word, then gave the spies the job.”
The Story
Trump named DNI Jay Clayton, FTC chair Andrew Ferguson, Pentagon R&E chief Emil Michael, and OPM director Scott Kupor to lead a “Super Intelligence Force,” reporting to him and Susie Wiles. It will coordinate with consumers, public-interest groups, *religious organizations*, infrastructure, and “Super Intelligence companies.” This follows the order that federal agencies stop saying “AI.” Four people, four day jobs.
Why It Matters
Material new beat on the already-covered rename: the word was banned, then a force was stood up, and the intelligence community is in the chair. Institutions + identity + sacred language.
