I'm reading @etymologynerd.bsky.social's Algospeak, which is reinforcing my repeated arguments about the futility of throwing a fit over the "wrong" use of the terms "cryptid" and "skeptic". Attempts to police words that are used in a pop cultural sense is a waste of time.

Every Sora AI video burns 1 Kilowatt hour and emits 466 grams of carbon. And for what, exactly?
