And then there's Grok, the sound that Pigs make.

Gemini is the twins, Janus is the Roman two-faced god.
Hugh Janus?
Gape Inghol
Yeah, it would have been more mythologically accurate to say that Gemini is produced by a company that's constantly trying to drag you down into hell.
Huh, TIL. I thought every Roman god had a Greek counterpart.
Bit more complicated than that.
It’s not one-to-one, and the Romans didn’t just adopt Greek gods.
Thanks for sharing! Will watch later tonight.
That's one unique hairdo
OpenAI, which is completely closed.
I don’t know why I laughed at this one in particular, the way it was worded was just funny to me.
Didn't google drop the no evil thing when they rebranded to Alphabet?
No, it was several years before that.
The La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo strike again!
“Don't be evil“ remains as the final phrase in the Code of Conduct. It was removed from the preface only.
And Musk is the smelly guy. His AI is named Grok, as a smelly Troll.
Is Grok a reference to a troll?
I've only know of this.

I hate that he ruined this word
it's funny because Stranger In a Strange Land was counterculture at the time it was published (still is tbh) that had strong messaging promoting polygamy and a unifying religion. two things MAGA clearly wants.
Not only that but the author, Heinlein, also wrote Starship Troopers. you know...the one that glorifies fascist policies and borders on Nazi propaganda. also something MAGA clearly wants.
Knowing what I know about both Musk and Grok, I'd say the name is spot on if his goal was to assimilate the ideals of fascist polygamist christians. those three words pretty much sum up a perfect observation of MAGA members.
Not even the drink grog?
This whole AI side-plot is getting out of hand.
This reads like a late-night conspiracy theory mixed with a Kojima pitch 😂 oddly entertaining though.
And thats without mentioning Palantir, named after the seeing-stones that Saruman use in lord of the rings, and... Gotham? A company that does about the same as the program Lucius Fox had Batman shut down in The Dark Knight.
"Deepseek" does sounds like what Psycho Mantis will do
Fortunately Skynet has no negative connotations whatsoever. Sky: where peaceful gods live that brighten your day every morning and symbol of pure joy and love. Net: global togetherness brought by instant communications of love and unity.
A net in the sky makes me think of us as prey being caught, like if Skynet was a spider or fisherman. Granted, I really had to look for that meaning.

I just realized this wasn't an evil name across cultures as I have always thought.
Its Chinese translation 天网 (literally sky + net) is a word used for at least for 2,000 years and is still very actively used among the daily vocabulary. It's a metaphor for law enforcement (especially the destined punishment for going against the "good natural order" i.e. the sky).
Traditionally, it's neutral or commendatory, but nowadays due to the association with surveillance networks (both metaphorically and literally), it's more derogatory.
That's a good interpretation from the Chinese point of view. Ancient China is obsess with "heaven". Their philosophy and mythology is chock full of reference to heaven, like the "mandate of heaven".
Be more patriotic. It's selfish to be afraid of all the winning that skynet brings America.
Behold, the sky net (is this shit co-written by Oda?):
Where's the bisexual badass who comes in to save the day?
Lol. If you didn't know, Claude just got open sourced https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/pull/41611
"Open sourced", LOL. By that logic Microsoft is open source https://www.techradar.com/news/the-microsoft-source-code-breach-may-be-much-bigger-than-we-thought
If Claude Code was (as Anthropic claims) 100% written by Claude, then it's not copyrightable. It's not open sourced, it's public domain.
Who's writing this??
Someone that doesn't know German.
I don't think Kojima knows anything other than Japanese and maybe some English, so that tracks.
I will say this about Kojima's naming... I never forget their names.
They villains are to corny for high school writing.
Genius Kojimbo
Nick Cage 've done it again!
I thought Britney Spears did it again? Oops.
