ambivalence
simultaneous and contradictory feelings toward the same object that can lead to psychological "splitting", in which a subject seperates irreconcilable parts of his/her personality.

someone might think you feel elated when you just feel ambivalence (ambivalent)


ambivalous
The condition of being both ambivalent and ambiguous.
Example:
"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;
Example:
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.
Example:
AI ambivalence took over before Q4 as the markets cooled for "generative" LLMs in general.


Ambivalent Right
Ambivalent Right (noun):

A political group primarily leaning Republican but holding mixed or moderate views on certain social issues, immigration, and foreign policy.

Characterized by alignment with core conservative values on government size, regulation, and economics, while showing more progressive stances on topics like abortion and same-sex marriage.

Often younger and more ethnically diverse than other GOP groups, the Ambivalent Right expresses dissatisfaction with both major political parties, reflecting a complex blend of conservatism with nuanced social views.
Example:
I live in the Deep South, but I voted purple on the ballot sheet. I want small government and support abortion for medical purposes. I’m conservative, but agree with some Democrat ideologies. I suppose this makes me ambivalent right.


eclectic ambivalence
The phenomenon to say one has "an eclectic taste in music"--meaning they like "all" music--when in actuality they like no music.
Example:
John: I like to think I have an eclectic taste in music.
Jane: But you can't name any albums that have come out in the last year?
John: Yeah, what's your point?
Jane: You like no music--you have eclectic ambivalence.
