Had this printed so I can do my own little protesting. Here's a high-res image if you want to print your own:
Love the sticker, the only thing is isn't clanker being used a lot by racists as a stand in for the n word?

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

My understanding is that it was a word created to have a similar usage/meaning to the n-word, but towards not-actually-sentient computers. It was never used against any class of people, to my knowledge.
Some people use it for disabled people with advanced prosthetics, which I frankly find extremely disgusting.
Not saying it isn't happening, but I've never seen that.
No clanker is the non racist term we use against robots. If you find it racist then you might be a robot.
No, you see humans are all the same race. The term we use to describe the derogatory use of terms towards other humans is racism, but that's not really what we're doing, but that's the word we have accepted. I don't like dogs - that's racism. I don't like AI - that's not even racism computers aren't a race
i have no idea if that's the case but i am also very certain that's not the context the word is being used in here.
