"Chad"
If they are going to act like the thing they pay $15/month for is as good as a real person, I think the best name for it is Chad.
"Chad made this mistake while I was working with him and while he agreed with me and apologized he just kept making the same mistake."
"Chad rewrote everything adding extra words, flowering it up. He turned it into total bullshit."
"Chad never admits he can't do something."
"Maybe it is time we talked about firing Chad."
My employer, like so many others, has been forcing the use of hallucination machines. During a meeting recently we were talking about using it, and I referred to it as "it".
Obviously, it is proper English to do so. But, one coworker was shocked by this and asked me why I used that word. I calmly explained that it is a large very flawed statistical model and nothing more, so "it" is the appropriate word.
I think that blew their mind. Their reaction was just silence.
I miss actual intelligence
A response to recent reporting in Germany, in service of clarity and accountability:
First, it’s important to be precise when it comes to critical infrastructure like Signal. Signal was not “hacked” — in that our encryption, infrastructure, and the integrity of the app’s code was not compromised. 1/

Beïnvloeding: NGO Monitor presenteert zich als een onafhankelijke organisatie die ngo’s controleert. Uit gehackte Israëlische overheidsmails blijkt dat het een instrument van de Israëlische overheid is. Telegraaf-artikelen op basis van rapporten van NGO Monitor beschadigen hulpclubs zoals Oxfam Novib.

Waar een wil is, is een weg.
Nu alleen onze overheid nog...
