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*

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

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

What are some reasons for the widespread dislike of President Trump? In your opinion, has he been a good or bad president?

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.

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

Would Taylor Swift want to be as rich as Trump? This why she vote for Kamala?

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

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

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