It looks like over the weekend Namepros member Lox got a few excited about the next country code that could get repurposed. I am talking about the country code of Slovenia, .si.
Lox pointed out that Microsoft looks to have acquired Copilot.si. The domain name has been registered since 2016. Microsoft also registered CopilotSi.com this year. Archive.org just showed a Wix landing page that the name had not been connected.
ILya Sutskever formerly of Open Ai founded a new company called Safe Superintelligence Inc.
Now artificialsuperintelligence.com has been registered since 2015, it’s not the best looking site, not even using Https. It looks like it’s some game and app created by Carrot. They operate at MeetCarrot.com.
They describe themselves as,
CARROT is an AI construct with a heart of weapons-grade plutonium. She’s the star of five award-winning apps, which have been downloaded by millions of meatbags and featured by the likes of Apple, The New York Times, Good Morning America, and Wired.
Artificial Superintelligence is the first game in the CARROT series.
So now that we have gone through a little bit of background on Super Interlligence, some will debate ASI vs AGI.
Some domainers would like .Si to be the next country code that gets repurposed, like .tv for television, .ai for artificial intelligence, .si will be for super intelligence.
New fads or trends usually get off to a start with the showcase thread. A .si one started today.
These names are not cheap, $71 I saw a Macaria, and 101Domain had them for $79.99 and $89.99 renewal. Now I did find a wild price difference on OVH as a few members said they regged for $12. Of course not all registrars carry them. According to nic.si there are 155,944 .si domains registered. 1,705.si new domains in last month.
444.si new domains in last 24 hours and 88 .si registrars.
This article is in no way recommending registering .si domain names, do your own research. I think this is the trend we normally see, all the great and very good domain names are registered in the latest hot trend, .ai so the search begins for the next gold rush.
It will be interesting. 444 names in 24 hours tells me a few people reckon there is gold in them .si hills.
Namebio shows 40 sales, nothing over $4K and change.
