I understand and share the joy of dunking on Trump, but please don’t do it this way:

- IQ is largely a nonsense metric

- Given its context and history, using IQ as an insult is playing with eugenicist fire

- Purporting to quantify “intelligence” at all is wildly problematic (we don’t even have a good definition of the thing we’re measuring here, folks)

- Purporting to quantify intelligence of someone at a •distance• is even wildly-er problematic

- Measuring human intelligence with an LLM is so off the problematic charts I don’t even know where to start

Find a better insult. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel with that guy. (“Like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory” was a pretty damn good one.) And if you (rightly) want to puncture his wild lies about his superintelligence, focus on his •lying• and not his IQ. Please and thank you.
