ambivalous

The condition of being both ambivalent and ambiguous.

"How should I change which port sshd listens on in Mac OS X 10.3 Panther? If I want to start sshd manually, (ie not via the Sharing GUI) it will run as a daemon and use it's configuration file as expected. But if I check the "Remote Login" box in the Sharing panel in System Preferences on a Mac OS X computer, I can enable the built in OpenSSH server."

"Dude, I'm totally ambivalous. We should try the Yak."

ambivalating

oscillating around uncertainty; weighing the options;

I am ambivalating about which guy to go out with on Saturday, both of them are great...one's got a big wallet and one's got a big package.

Stop ambivalating...go to dinner with the first and finish the night with the second.

ai ambivalence

AI has overheated and overpromised. The general population as well as investors and business users, are a bit tired of the AI story.

AI ambivalence took over before Q4 as the markets cooled for "generative" LLMs in general.
