Yeah, we need to go back to names like International Business Machines, fuck this immature "Google" or "Yahoo!" nonsense. Hell, Palantir is named after something in a book for children!

the name is a leftover from their original business - a chatbot. seems very appropriate to me. then they figured something called BERT exists, and pivoted, the name stayed. perhaps less ridiculous than NVidia which started with video and is very close in Levenshtein distance to NVidAI but, alas, decided to stay as it is :D

Pretty sure if Nvidia rebranded to NvidAI the bubble would immediately pop

Why can't an AI distill itself from outputs to effectively access its own weights?

Palantir is in Lord of the Rings. Which is not a book for children. Maybe you were thinking of the hobbit?

I've found the strongest signal that someone has no opinions of value is a loud attempt to denigrate something based on the name. Maybe it's part of the success formula for startups, silly names cause shallow self-important customers and employees to self-select themselves out of a growing companies orbit. Such trivialities are poison. People and companies who make a lot of effort to make themselves seem serious and…
