  We are discussing what someone would use when writing about a hypothetical person.

  And that changes it how? It’s insulting to misgender someone, though I can understand how you’d think that there’s no harm in insulting someone hypothetical.

  I suggest you do some research on the history of language

  Per your suggestion, “they” has been used to refer to a singular person since the 14th century. “He” is currently masculine-only. I apologize if you misunderstood my use of “never” to refer to things around the 18th and 19th century (when it apparently was considered bad to use “they” in the singular) when I presumed that their was an implicit limit to modern usage of English.

  Someone with undetermined/unknowable gender would use the pronouns they/them, never he/him.

  This sounds like open weights but not actually open source (which requires an open training set), but we can only hope they are true to their promises when they actually release it. Bonus points if they also release how much energy they wasted to train it and how much energy it wastes to run it.

  Interestingly the article about steganography does not mention the term even once.
