Super cis perspective here, but I've come to find optional pronoun marking to be a really useful form of quasi-universal design—once again, a gift in which the struggles led by marginalized communities make life better for everyone. Quite often one just really can't assume to know someone's pronouns, especially if their name is from a different culture from yours or (like many names) is nonbinary. It never hurts to get some extra information.

"On a philosophical level, OpenAI's health is what keeps this industry alive. OpenAI has the only meaningful userbase in generative AI, and this entire hype-cycle has been driven by its success, meaning any deterioration (or collapse) of OpenAI will tell the market what I've been saying for over a year: that generative AI is not the next hyper-growth market, and its underlying economics do not make sense."
