Are you sure that site is trustworthy? It kinda reads like an LLM being told to explain the difference between two names for the same thing and basically rephrasing the same thing. I’d imagine it might just be a different name to get rid of a male-coded word.

Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence.

I used to give the benefit of the doubt but when there are bad insensitives in play then perhaps this saying of wisdom can, unfortunately, be naïve.

Do you mean bad incentives?
And sure, I don’t disagree, but these people are also not actually that smart. I would worry more about this getting hacked in a week way before Elon gets a chance to use it against anyone.
