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).

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

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

*drumroll*

What do women talk about mostly(among themselves)?

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

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.

How do you fight the push and pull (manipulation) tactic if you want to win him?

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

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

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