showcase Showcase your .si domains (super-intelligence)

[Andreas B.]

Thanks to @Lox we now know, that Microsoft owns the domain copilot .si

SI, clearly, stands for Super Intelligence in this case.

Do you own any .si domains?


I'll start with the one I have;

Roboter .si


How about you?

 

[Name2go]

How come this discussion has become so quiet? Has anyone been selling any .si domains recently (wholesale or retail)?

As long as end users don't actually use .si for their superintelligence solutions, this thread will be relatively quiet.

In addition, we have a difficult forum situation: a thread creator who doesn't particularly care. Jealous reflexes to cast doubt on valuable posts. Users who don't answer serious questions on their important posts, either because they think they're too important or because they have something to hide. Owners of the best domains in terms of AI from Finland, Canada, Israel, France, USA... who contribute little to nothing. A whale from Germany who is as happy as a toddler about false reports. A large registrar that is celebrated for its entry, but runs stupid affiliates and for which the TLD is not even worth the reg of its own name.

All of this will disappear when (if) end user sales suddenly start at some point. I read that superintelligence is expected to come faster than expected and could leapfrog AGI.

IMHO

True. I have also been seeing similar reports. Although there is not much end user action for SI, but they surrounding areas are slowly getting noticed. Like HumanoidFriends getting sold for almost 30K. Who would have thought.

Also I remember Namebio comparing stats of .ai sales before 4 years. Domains that were sold for $500 4 years back, are getting sold for $50K.

So, I also .si names will soon see amazing sales. It's just a matter of Hodling it for a couple more years.

Very fair points made. I have been reflecting on what we could do to promote the adoption of this extension. I would be interested in discussing a plan that includes careful data and information analysis of what happened in the case of the ai extension that could serve our analysis.

Google manager talks about Superintelligence

 

[Optinom]

Superintelligence is going to be hot, but I think the industry is going to stick to .ai.

Absolutely no one has adopted .si. We're reading too much into copilot.si.

Unlike extensions like even .so, which have better adoption in certain niches.

 

[Name2go]

The question is in which order the following rungs of the ladder must be climbed:
- Superintelligences can be built and used as standard applications.
- Endusers use .si for applications and marketing related to Superintelligence.
- The .si registry ARNES actively opens for the reading "si = Superintelligence".
- Google treats the ccTLD .si like a gTLD.

Probably the last point should come first.
I wonder if Google is making such upgrades on its own or if the industry needs to step up.
If the latter: Is a well-known domainer with good relationships with Internet companies sufficient? Should a group of domainers come together, does the registry have to make an appearance or even ICANN start an initiative?

According to this reference, Google requires an international user base to treat country domains as gTLDs:
"Google treats some ccTLDs (such as tv and .me) as gTLDs, as we've found that users and website owners frequently see these more generic than country-targeted. Here is a list of those ccTLDs (this list may change)."

With endings like .me and .co, this requirement was met from the start. These ccTLDs were launched with the aim of a global usage.
Dot.si was initially reserved for Slovenian companies and private individuals. At some point an opening for international trademark holders followed. Registrations by foreigners were allowed without restrictions in the fall of 2008, if I remember correctly. At least, I would say.

Question to everyone: What should be done to get Google to treat .si as a gTLD?

Question to everyone: What should be done to get Google to treat .si as a gTLD?

This is what ChatGPT has to say -

To have Google treat the ccTLD .si (or any other country-code top-level domain) as a gTLD (generic top-level domain), follow these steps:

1. Understand Google's TLD Treatment​

• Google categorizes domains as either ccTLDs or gTLDs. ccTLDs are typically associated with specific countries, while gTLDs are considered generic and not tied to any geographical location.
• Some ccTLDs (e.g., .co, .me) are treated as gTLDs due to widespread generic usage.

2. Verify .si Eligibility​

• Confirm if .si domains are intended to represent a geographical location (Slovenia in this case) or if there is precedent for generic use.

3. Request Inclusion as a gTLD​

• If .si has widespread generic usage, you can submit a request to Google Search to treat it as a gTLD. You cannot do this directly, but feedback can be provided via forums or Google's official communication channels.

4. Set Geotargeting in Google Search Console​

• If .si is being used for a global audience, configure geotargeting in Google Search Consoleto a specific location or set it to "Unlisted." Steps:
  1. Verify the domain in Google Search Console.
  2. Go to Settings > Search Settings > Geotargeting.
  3. Adjust the geotargeting preferences.

5. Establish Content Relevance​

• Make sure the website has globally relevant content. Use international signals like:
  • Multi-language support with hreflang tags.
  • Hosting in neutral regions (not necessarily in Slovenia).
  • External links from non-country-specific websites.

6. Advocate Usage Trends​

• Broaden .si usage as a generic extension for purposes beyond Slovenia. Advocacy groups or domain registrars can campaign for .si to be recognized as a gTLD.

7. Monitor Google's Updates​

• Google periodically updates its list of ccTLDs treated as gTLDs. Keep an eye on their documentation to see if .si is added.

By following these steps, you can increase the chances of .si being treated as a gTLD in Google's algorithms. However, achieving official recognition requires a broader effort that extends beyond individual domain holders.

I think we are very very early in the Super Intelligence space. So, whether .si makes sense or not is super duper early. .xyz took years to be embraced by Crypto. AI took several years before the big numbers came in. I believe .si will just be traded between us domainers for the next 3/4 years before it hopefully sees end user sales.

So, if someone is looking to see some sales request them to lower their prices below $1000 and I think you will see some action (specially talking about short one word names, not others). Domains priced with three 8s at the end will not sell for now, most probably. I hope I am wrong, but I know I am right.

Also, I asked ChatGPT if Super Intelligence would be a generic term like Artificial Intelligence. That's the question I think we need to ask. Here's what Sam Altman had to say -

"Superintelligence" is not yet as generic a term as "artificial intelligence" (AI), but it has the potential to become one, depending on how the field of AI evolves and how the term is used in academic, industry, and popular discourse. Here's a breakdown of the factors involved:

Why "Superintelligence" Might Become Generic​

1. Widespread Usage
   If the concept of superintelligence—AI systems far surpassing human intelligence across all domains—becomes central to discussions about AI development, it could evolve into a broadly understood term like AI.
2. Academic and Industry Adoption
   If researchers and developers consistently use "superintelligence" in technical papers, industry discussions, and media, it could gain the same recognition as AI or machine learning (ML).
3. Cultural Impact
   Books like Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence and popular portrayals of advanced AI systems in media help familiarize the term with the general public. If this trend continues, "superintelligence" might gain widespread currency.
4. Divergence of AI Concepts
   As AI branches into more specialized subfields (e.g., narrow AI, general AI, superintelligent AI), "superintelligence" could become a necessary term to describe the most advanced level.

Why "Superintelligence" Might Remain Specialized​

1. Conceptual Specificity
   Unlike AI, which is a broad umbrella term, "superintelligence" describes a specific idea: AI that vastly exceeds human intelligence. Its use may remain limited to advanced discussions or speculative contexts.
2. Slow Realization
   Since achieving superintelligence is still speculative, the term may not become as ubiquitous as AI until there is tangible progress or examples.
3. Potential Alternatives
   The term could be supplanted by other, more precise terminology as the field evolves, similar to how "cybernetics" was largely replaced by "AI" in popular use.
4. Ethical and Philosophical Associations
   Superintelligence is closely tied to philosophical, ethical, and existential debates about AI. Its niche might remain in discussions about these topics, rather than in everyday or technical use.

Conclusion​

For now, "superintelligence" is more specialized than "artificial intelligence." However, if progress in AI research continues and public interest in advanced AI grows, it could become a generic term, widely recognized and used much like AI. Its trajectory will depend on the pace of AI advancements and the way society chooses to frame and discuss these developments.

A lot of input @PB Domains

How shall we, the dirty dozen of .si domain holders on Namepros, continue?

3. Request Inclusion as a gTLD​

• If .si has widespread generic usage, you can submit a request to Google Search to treat it as a gTLD. You cannot do this directly, but feedback can be provided via forums or Google's official communication channels.

Does .si already have widespread generic usage? I don´t know but I doubt. There is noteworthy global domain ownership what I can see, but usage?
Whatever, it cannot be a mistake to submit a request to Google Search. Not everybody here at the same time LOL but a person who owns some .si domains and has a good standing in the industry. I remember at least three silverbacks being active in this thread.

4. Set Geotargeting in Google Search Console​

• If .si is being used for a global audience, configure geotargeting in Google Search Consoleto a specific location or set it to "Unlisted." Steps:
  1. Verify the domain in Google Search Console.
  2. Go to Settings > Search Settings > Geotargeting.
  3. Adjust the geotargeting preferences.

Everybody should do this. I will start ASAP.

5. Establish Content Relevance​

• Make sure the website has globally relevant content. Use international signals like:
  • Multi-language support with hreflang tags.
  • Hosting in neutral regions (not necessarily in Slovenia).
  • External links from non-country-specific websites.

Who is able and willing to develop a website?
I imagine all relevant content about Superintelligence being published. Content created by AI automation. My domain Research .si wouldn´t be bad for this purpose.

6. Advocate Usage Trends​

• Broaden .si usage as a generic extension for purposes beyond Slovenia. Advocacy groups or domain registrars can campaign for .si to be recognized as a gTLD.

Establishing an advocacy group on my domain Group .si?

If someone likes to develop a personal website with his/her LL initials on .si then talk to me if you see me as the registrant in Whois (register.si). Let me point Nameservers to your hosting. Eventually buy the domain later for reg fee, cumulative. (Some LLs like mo, my, ya, yo e.g. are not included.)

A Thriller!

Domains priced with three 8s at the end will not sell for now, most probably. I hope I am wrong, but I know I am right.

I took a quick look into Sedo. Most .si domains listed there are with Make-offer. The Buy-now domains have the following pricing:

• > 20k USD: 233 results
• 10k - 20k: 163
• 5k - 10k: 651
• 2k - 5k: 1.686
• 1k - 2k: 632
• 500 - 1k: 899
• 200 - 500: 73
• 0 - 200: 27

Some flippers, some investors, few Megalomaniacs - as always.

Is there a reader who wants to bash the extension or save it from being bashed? Fu*k .si is on Sedo for 169 USD.
Your future job in Superintelligence Coaching - if it accepts being coached - could start with How .si for 99 Bucks.
Christians might find Mary .si attractive (300 USD).
Not my names!

A Thriller!

Wasn't there someone who developed a website for .si name portfolio? I am sorry, not able to recollect the name. Would love to get an idea of the traffic to that website.

Can we collectively curate content and push in websites like Medium etc? If anyone has any connect with Techcrunch or similar tech websites, then pushing this narrative becomes easier. I am okay with contributing to the articles. Research.si would be an ideal piece, but pushing in well established website will unleash the SEO juice I believe. Any SEO experts in the room please suggest. We can create a Google Drive and collaborate on different topics in Superintelligence while plugging in .si.

LinkedIn is also a powerful source. I think we should start posting in LinkedIn also.

Also, I am ready to experiment with my domains for greater good. Here are some names - Please suggest 2 names whose price I can drop to $750. Let's see if there's any interest.

Relay.si
Sustainable.si
Bamboo.si
Calendar.si
Wellbeing.si
Syndicate.si
Workout.si
Outdoor.si
Collab.si
Close.si
Bakery.si
Milo.si
Cone.si
Beehive.si
Carwash.si
Headhunter.si
ResumeBuilder.si
Vacancy.si
Transmission.si
Snack.si
Cradle.si
Popcorn.si
Schema.si
Crack.si
Otter.si
Boolean.si
Allow.si
Admission.si

Please suggest 2 domains from this list to experiment. Would also request fellow members to volunteer two domains (one word) from their portfolio for this experiment and hope for the best.

Ideally, if I were to take a bullet from the team I would forward my best two names, instead of the worse two.

LinkedIn is also a powerful source. I think we should start posting in LinkedIn also.

My idea is not to concentrate everything on one single .si site or on an aged site in another TLD for SEO reasons but to publish as many developed .si sites with an approach beyond Slovenia as possible. We need .si sites in English, French, Hindi, Chinese, Arabian ... to have a better chance to convince Google of the generic usage of the extension. Parking pages with a For-Sale button may not meet requirements.

Developed sites should become collective ownership by the dev group of this forum. No cheap trick to rise value in favor of the current registrant.

Please suggest 2 domains from this list to experiment.

Not quite sure about your plans.
Whatever, my favorites in your list are Sustainable and Calendar in terms of Superintelligence.
ResumeBuilder and BeeHive are those names I would place at the bottom of a ranking. They are nice but 2-word domains seem to be too long in the moment in .si.

Looking forward to other opinions.

Not my names!

I also looked in Sedo.

1. The names with the most traffic are Freeones/si and Como/si. Wonder what they mean and why they have so much traffic!
2. The one with the highest BIN is Humanoid/si and OpenASI/si. These I can understand.
3. The ones with the most bids are Ekipa/si (10 bids) and De/si (8 bids). Google translate says Ekipa means Team. So, I guess these are in local language.

To me, these are saying that .si is still not in the eyes of the retail buyers. Smaller startups in Slovenia might buy some names, but I doubt that.

Note - None of the domains given above are mine. Just some observations from Sedo.

Comparing with .ai, I got -

1. The names with the most traffic are Jog/ai and eprivacy/ai. The traffic numbers are not abnormally high though.
2. The one with the highest BIN is Junix/ai and Psoe/ai. I am too dumb to understand why they are so aggressively priced. Millions.
3. The ones with the most bids are Rollercoaster/ai (87 bids) and b.ai (79 bids). More than Space/ai (which is just 63 bids).

This makes me wonder a couple of things -
1. In this gold rush of .ai, the numbers in Sedo are also not very encouraging. Is it just the big retail investors that are jumping into the ship that is making the numbers inflated?
2. After so many years, we are seeing such numbers in .ai. So, can we hope to see similar numbers after say 3 years?

Final question,
1. Are Sedo numbers a good metric to track? For sometime, I have been using Sedo bid numbers to price my domains (mostly .coms and .xyzs). Should we start doing the same with .si?

I don't know if this is making any sense. Just crossed my mind. Saw the numbers and posted.

 

[Name2go]

Don’t rely on Sedo stats.
Fake bids by registrant’s buddies are a scammy technique to make domains more attractive.
Traffic numbers are not fully comparable. Lander-15 brings much more visits than other landers.
