Engineer jokes up a 'snooping-proof' alphabet made of words AIs refuse to say

Software engineer Jimmy Koppel posts a satirical 'alphabet' for teaching kids to read using words that AI assistants refuse to complete — A is for AK-47, C for Coronavirus, F for Fentanyl, P for Plutonium, R for Ricin, Z for Zyklon B — inviting others to fill the gaps. It's a jab at overbroad AI safety filters, where listing dangerous terms reliably trips refusals.
