Why does Microsoft always create so many ugly, confusing, and ridiculous product names? The worst of them all is ".Net" (which is really confusing).

Why does Microsoft always create so many ugly, confusing, and ridiculous product names? The worst of them all is ".Net" (which is really confusing).

*drumroll*

Keep in mind, though, there are only two hard problems in software: Cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.

When OpenAI released their successor to GPT-4, they called it GPT-4o. Their next model after that was called o1.

I broke up with my boyfriend because he wasn’t transparent about his past, it hurts me and he doesn’t care. I told him in the beginning of our relationship that it was a deal breaker for me what do I do?

And when Anthropic released the successor to Claude 3.5 Sonnet, they called it…

But I mean, Microsoft was a pioneer in this field and is still the undisputed king of bad naming.

They didn’t even bother to change the name. What the fuck, guys.

If all the American hundred millionaires and billionaires chipped in a modest 10% of their net worth to provide affordable housing to homeless families and other down and out persons, (like veterans), would this address the housing crisis?

It’s not just Microsoft. Look at the way top AI companies these days name their foundation models.

When Google released the next version of Gemini 1.5 Pro, they called it Gemini 1.5 Pro-002 (I wish I was joking, but I’m not).

Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
