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).

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

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.

Non adipisci autem repellat fugiat.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

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).

There was this one weird Bollywood movie that was released in the 2000s. Amitabh Bachchan was starring with another actress and the story was about how the old guy (Amitabh Bachchan) fell in love with the young woman. What is the name of this movie?

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

*drumroll*

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

Which is better for your skin red light therapy or blue light therapy?
