Cartoon of a stick figure holding a tablet, surrounded by chaotic red and black arrows and orange starbursts. Text labels in a circular flow: top "i make the agent create an issue", right "their agent looks at the issue", bottom "their agent submits a solution", left "i make my agent check the solution". Arrows connect the text, illustrating a cyclical process with overlapping lines and starburst shapes.

β€˜Hey’ came before β€˜hi,’ and β€˜hi' came before β€˜hello.’

β€˜Hi’ is most likely a variant of β€˜hey.’

β€˜Hello’ is not related to either.
