Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

That is pretty sad to see, but also, who refers to Claude as “he”? This is the second time I’m seeing this and it makes me skin crawl
One of my superiors at work calls it "he."
Now that he killed children in cold blood Claude has been made a man. In fact, he is a 6'3" Anglo and my boyfriend.
Oh man, if genAI destroys the profession of toxic masculinity podcaster watch me turn booster on a dime
monkey's paw curls and AI destroys the profession by creating infinite andrew tate and freshnfit clones so that more people than ever watch manosphere podcasts, but no actual humans can make a living from producing them.
If Tate loses his job, who’s to say if that’s good or bad
(No but really it’s bad, very bad)
I mean, Claude is a male name. Blame Anthropomorphic for it.
I'm calling it Anthropomorphic accidentally on-purpose forever now.
That can’t be entirely it. Do you call Alexa the voice assistant tool “she”?
I don't really call Alexa anything since I saw one like once in my life. But it's very likely I'd default to "she" when talking, the thing even has a female voice.
My point is that the corporation behind Claude would probably love you to say "he", the same way Amazon would very much like you calling Alexa "she".
