President Trump's September 22 UN announcement directs all government documents to use 'super intelligence' instead of 'artificial intelligence' — a framing move with real weight for how AI is defined, regulated, and perceived.

The war's escalating infrastructure attacks complicate transition planning that depends on stable fossil-fuel supply in the near term.
