I came in already knowing what neuromorphic hardware is and I'm also unsure

joke I think, anthropod is probably another way of saying bugs/ants haha

*arthropod, as in "joint(ed) leg" (cf. arthritis), GP misspelled it. "Anthropod" would mean something like "human leg".

AI-created chips will be so weird, instead of bugs they'll have aliens: https://monster.fandom.com/wiki/Anthropod

Oh christ you're right, they were actually being really funny. I was being super literal and imagined them being very excited about futuristic advances in giant isopod diagnosis and care

Yeah, anthropic bugs. The planet is infested with them.
