WASHINGTONIUM, D.C. — Inside the magnificent Palatium Alborum, where the golden curtains probably cost more than an average scientific research mission, Imperator Donaldus Trumpius Caesar Maximus has proclaimed a glorious new chapter in human civilization: the Aureum Aevum Scientiae, the Golden Age of Science.
And because science obviously works best when an Emperor wearing a golden tie stands next to it, the greatest technological minds of the Empire were summoned for a spectacular imperial awards ceremony.
"Nobody understands science better than me!" Trumpius Caesar proclaimed before the assembled scholars. "I have an incredibly large brain. Some scientists say it's the largest brain ever contained inside a human skull. Possibly even larger than the skull itself. Absolutely historic!"
The imperial physician immediately recommended leaving the anatomy textbooks unchanged.
Elonius Muskius — The Man Who Wants to Privatize Heaven
The first medal went to Elonius Muskius Maximus, Lord of the Electric Chariots, Conqueror of Orbital Trajectories, and Supreme Administrator of Exploding Rockets.
His achievements in space exploration, communications, and intelligent machines were described as extraordinary.
"Elonius launches things into space!" declared Trumpius. "Incredible things! Some even come back down. Others explode. But very successfully! The greatest explosions I've ever seen!"
Muskius accepted his award and announced plans to transform Mars into a publicly traded corporation.
The first real estate parcels had reportedly already been reserved, although nobody had invented a functioning Martian sewage system.
Trumpius Caesar enthusiastically approved the initiative and immediately claimed the position of Interplanetary Honorary Emperor for Life.
Sergius Brinius — The All-Knowing Oracle Master
Next came Sergius Brinius Googlius, Grand Master of the Digital Search Oracles.
His algorithms had revolutionized the way humanity discovers information.
"Before Google, people actually had to know things!" Trumpius explained. "Now they ask a machine. Fantastic! Personally, I never ask machines anything. I already know the answers!"
Brinius ceremoniously presented the Emperor with a special search engine displaying exclusively positive news about Trumpius.
The device was immediately declared the official information system of the Empire.
Negative search results were subsequently classified as technical malfunctions.
Jensenius Huangus — High Priest of the Computing Legions
The third medal went to Jensenius Huangus Nvidius, Master of Graphics Processors and Supreme Commander of the Artificial Computing Legions.
His processors power enormous calculations, scientific simulations, and the development of artificial superintelligence.
Trumpius Caesar examined an advanced computing chip with visible admiration.
"Can this thing calculate my approval rating at a thousand percent?"
Huangus cautiously explained that even the most advanced processors remained subject to mathematical limitations.
The Emperor immediately ordered those limitations abolished.
"Mathematics should never stand in the way of greatness. Especially my greatness!"
Lisa Sua — Architect of the Silicon Cathedrals
Another extraordinary honor went to Lisa Sua Processoria, Mistress of Semiconductor Architecture.
Her innovations in high-performance computing and modular processor design helped establish the foundations of extraordinary supercomputers.
Trumpius Caesar appeared deeply impressed.
"She builds computers that think incredibly fast. Faster than ordinary people. Obviously not faster than me. But probably faster than my ministers. Although that's not a particularly impressive achievement!"
Sua received the Golden Laurel of Silicon, while the imperial technology department was instructed to develop a supercomputer capable of confirming the Emperor's greatness under all circumstances.
The project received the highest possible priority.
Independent calculations were strictly discouraged.
Michaelus Dellius — Senator of the Personal Computing Boxes
The Order of Technological Magnificence was bestowed upon Michaelus Dellius Computarius.
His achievements included expanding personal computing and building a worldwide technology enterprise.
"Computers used to be enormous!" Trumpius lectured the audience. "Now they're small! Tomorrow they might even become invisible! I personally predicted this development long before anyone knew what a computer was!"
Dellius smiled politely.
The Emperor then unveiled a gold-plated laptop whose keyboard contained only the letters T, R, U, M, and P.
"Every important word can be written with these letters!" Trumpius announced.
An imperial engineer attempted to point out certain linguistic difficulties.
He was immediately reassigned to the Department of Unnecessary Complications.
Satyus Nadellus — Cloud Emperor of Microsoftia
The final award went to Satyus Nadellus Microsoftius, Lord of the Mighty Data Clouds and Builder of Digital Super-Infrastructures.
His contributions to cloud computing and artificial intelligence were celebrated as historic achievements.
Trumpius Caesar gazed thoughtfully toward the sky.
"Cloud computing! Fantastic! We have the best clouds. Tremendous clouds. Nobody has more beautiful clouds than America!"
Nadellus attempted to explain that cloud computing did not involve actual clouds.
The Emperor immediately established an imperial investigation committee to determine why billions were being invested in invisible clouds that couldn't even produce rain.
"Very suspicious. Very expensive. And not a single thunderstorm!"
The Genesis Mission: God Created the World — Trumpius Will Optimize It
The scientific summit reached its glorious climax with the unveiling of the Emperor's grand technological vision.
Under the direction of Michaelus Kratsios Scientificarum, Supreme Guardian of Scientific Progress, the Empire would revolutionize scientific research.
Young scientists would receive greater support. Ambitious research missions would be launched. New funding models would emerge. And the mighty Genesis Mission would harness artificial superintelligence to accelerate scientific discoveries.
Trumpius Caesar was delighted.
"Genesis! What a beautiful name! God needed several days to create the world. I could have done it in an afternoon. Possibly before lunch!"
The Emperor then unveiled his personal scientific priorities.
First, the creation of infinitely powerful computers.
Second, the development of completely loyal artificial intelligence.
Third, the construction of a quantum system capable of proving simultaneously that Trumpius has always been right and has never been wrong.
When a physicist explained that quantum mechanics did not issue political loyalty certificates, he was appointed Deputy Commissioner for Unnecessary Doubts.
His research funding was transferred to the Imperial Institute of Positive Conclusions.
The Greatest Discovery in Human History: Trumpius Himself
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Trumpius Caesar rose majestically from his golden throne and surveyed the assembled medalists.
"These people have invented incredible things! Rockets! Computers! Artificial intelligence! But I have created something even greater: the Golden Age in which all these things happen!"
The scientists applauded politely.
The Emperor applauded himself enthusiastically.
He then announced the establishment of an entirely new scientific discipline: Trumpiology, the systematic investigation of the Emperor's immeasurable genius.
The first research questions were immediately approved.
How can one human being possess so much intelligence?
Why has the entire world not yet recognized it?
And how can the answer be permanently engraved onto a golden monument?
Unlimited research funding was promised, provided that all scientific conclusions confirmed the Emperor's superiority before the investigations began.
The Imperial Academy enthusiastically accepted its new mission.
Its motto was simple: "Question everything. Except Trumpius."
And thus, the greatest scientific sensation of the Golden Age was finally revealed.
Artificial intelligence had learned to think independently.
It was immediately switched off.
Because in the Empire of Trumpius, there can only be one superintelligence.
And it wears a red tie.
