@dgold @kim Clanker originally comes from Star Wars as far as I’m aware. It doesn’t come from wanker, it’s from the clanking noise separatist battledroids make. It’s more meant as a pejorative for robots, intelligent or not.

Folks have started to use it for AI, but it’s not about the boosters. It’s a slur for the model/AI.

@ohno @dgold @kim this is honestly the first time I've encountered the idea that "clanker" refers to the model rather than the human! I've only seen it used the other way
