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

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

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).

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

Is it legal to record a conversation with a therapist without their consent or the consent of the other person involved?

Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

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

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

How can I get my ex-husband to love me again?

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

*drumroll*

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