The city of Bloomington, Indiana, just banned all its citizens from accessing "super intelligence" AI tools, even through a web browser.
The city, of course, is led by tech-illiterate retards. There is obviously no risk of encountering superintelligence inside the City Hall of Bloomington, Indiana.
The city ordinance defines superintelligence as AI systems that significantly outperform humans on nearly all cognitive tasks. Given how retarded the humans running Bloomington obviously are, this is not a high bar to achieve. Probably Qwen 2.5 7b already qualifies as "super intelligence" in Bloomington, Indiana. Even running a 2-bit quant edition with minimal KV cache.
About the ban itself, city businesses will either ignore the stupid ban or flee the city entirely. It's also obvious that the city would be better off actually replacing the entirety of its retarded human "common council" with AI agents. (lol)
Because let me be blunt about what this ordinance does to commerce. AI drives logistics, customer service, workflow automation, writing, web design, image generation, coding, spreadsheet and financial analysis. Every modern business that wants to compete in the modern world either depends on these tools now or is migrating rapidly in that direction. Banning AI forces businesses to operate as if it's 2005, making them unable to compete with firms outside city limits.
Perhaps next, Bloomington will ban electricity, because "evil electricity" might could power "super intelligence," see? [Stupid grammar used on purpose.]
Thus, the city is not merely regulating a hypothetical superintelligence; it is telling the brightest minds in its businesses and academic institutions that they cannot use the most powerful research tools available to their peers in other cities.
Bloomington, Indiana, should forever be renamed, "Retardageddon, Indiana" because it will suffer an economic exodus (and global mockery) if the anti-AI ordinance isn't reversed.
