What surprises me the most recently, though, is how much I suddenly care about pronouns (I didn't see that one coming).
PLEASE. For the love of all that's good in the world, stop referring to AIs as she/her/he/him. They are not people and don't have genders. It's an it.
I already admired Associated Press for its stand on on the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. And now I’m admiring its stand on reporting about AI.

In the midst of heated discussions on AI safety and consciousness, the Associated Press Stylebook has reminded everyone of where it stands on the whole “anthropomorphism” debate.
“Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics,” it wrote Wednesday in a post on X. “This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.”
This didn’t go over well in the world of AI experts and adherents, whose nerves, shall we say, were collectively struck by what they characterized as a “completely insane” declaration.
Open AI stole this guy's research solving one of the millennium problems and just pretended it was theirs. Plagiarism machine did plagiarism. Good explanation here:

Today Igalia turns 25.
In September 2001, ten engineers from the University of A Coruña started a company with no outside investors, no managers, and no intention of ever appointing any.
There are now close to 200 of us, spread across the world. The arrangement has not changed: no managers, no shareholders, and everything we build left where anyone can use it.
Here is to the next twenty-five.

Given its extremely high energy and water consumption, the increased minimum system requirements driving premature hardware obsolescence, among other very problematic social and political issues, genAI/LLMs are not compatible with the values and goals of KDE Eco.
KDE is a diverse community and the opinions and projects of some KDE contributors are not representative of the entire community or KDE Eco projects.
'Phonetic' is not.
'Abbreviation' is 12 letters.
'Thesaurus' doesn't have a synonym.
'Monosyllabic' has five syllables.
'Hyphenated’ isn't, but ‘non-hyphenated’ is.
Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humour.
