The communist pejorative has been dead for... Decades and decades. Like 4, at least. By the 80's it had lost its charm, and young adults would roll their eyes when gramps used it.
There are plenty of other similar, (now-meaningless) pejoratives tossed about all the time. It's old and tiresome to hear/see.
I've searched before, do you know why "tankie"? I can't get a good etymology on it, like how it would reference single-party communist states?
Edit: hmm, Guess I missed the Wikipedia entry on it, though I could swear I'd read it before. Thanks Habiscus!

Wow, that's some of the most concrete, down-to-earth explanation of what everyone is calling AI. Thanks.
I'm technical, but haven't found a good article explaining today's AI in a way I can grasp well enough to help my non-technical friends and family. Any recommendations? Maybe something you've written?
Hopefully we see it mature this way, and eventually we some primary communities (per subject), with some smaller communities, and the tiny ones just being subsumed by the others.
