abbreviating an adjective meaning "human" to the word for a particular insect is horrible.

Though I guess we already crossed that line with "anthropomorphic animal" -> "anthropomorphic" -> "anthro", resulting in "anthro" becoming ambiguous between "human, as opposed to animal" and "animal, as opposed to human".

Human language makes me misanthropic.

Why do people think ANTH? To me, ANT makes more sense bc that’s what people call it colloquially

@Conflux …who calls it Ant colloquially?

@Gabrielle Employees themselves and people in the community somewhat? Or also like Anthropic employees are “Ants”

@Gabrielle a lot of people!

@Gabrielle haven't you ever visited that x.com site, which we colloquially call twitter? it would inform you of this

@Conflux because calling it Ant is pretentious?

@MachiNi why?

@realTomBayes it has an insider buddy vibe that I find grating.

@MichaelWheatley please explain

did some quick brainstorming with codex

Is anthro not an option (already taken?)

Are there length limits?

@Yakushi12345 most symbols are really short
