Weird that I read a story about OpenAI's mysterious "Q" model, open up Hacker News, and read about Amazon's Q model. It will be interesting to see the business expertise functionality that they tout.

#22Is this why Amazon bought MGM? So they can use a James Bond movie character name?
You cannot trademark or copyright individual letters of the alphabet and prevent other people from using them. So no.

Swastika predates the nazis by a lot too but I wouldn't put one on my leather jacket. Seniority is a weak position when trying to guess what meaning people might infer from a word.

The [possibly bogus] recent news were about a thing called Q* ("Q star"). I think the branding is just a coincidence, where it stands for "Question".

#25Meamwhile I think the law should garantee a customer can speak to someone at a company who has enough power to take action on the entire customer account.
At least in France we passed a law that says that if you subscribed to a service online, you can unsubscribed online too (no idea if we're first, or last).

#26Unusual pricing for AWS, minimum 10 users.
Noticed that as well - odd choice, but maybe it's just to limit the Preview. Better than Microsoft's 300 seat minimum for MS365 Copilot ;)

The swastika is associated with a group that waged a major war against many nations and committed genocide and other atrocities. Avoiding it, at least in most contexts, is just good sense these days. "Q" in "QAnon" is associated with a bunch of idiots believing nonsensical conspiracy theories. These aren't quite the same things.
Congrats on Godwin'ing the thread, though.

Only for the terminally online.
Unfortunately the votes of terminally online conspiracy theorists have the same weight as the rest of ours, which can interact with the real world.
Edit: actually, I phrased this poorly in reflection. It is good that everyone gets a vote, even people I disagree with. The unfortunate thing is the influence of online weirdness on people.
