    Bug.

    The original bug was a moth in computer-relays.

    Humans are squishy like bug, and behave semi-unpredictably like bug. Therefore, bug.

      Ironically, I think the original bug would fall under the category of a glitch because it would have been a hardware failure, rather than a software issue.

      No, it wasn’t, but it’s a commonly repeated mistake.

        I mean unless they’re using solar powered steam engines, it still doesn’t make sense. Also, they need perfectly efficient internals (conductors etc.) to be exothermal.

    Dennis E. Taylor coined “Ephemerals” which, if I recall correctly, isn’t even immediately intended as an in-universe slur by the machines/replicants, they only realize after a while “Wait, that’s kind of derogatory, maybe we shouldn’t call them that”.
