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).

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

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

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

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

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

*drumroll*

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

Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

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).

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