I've always thought QAnon's name was a reference to this character, but I don't care enough to confirm or deny.

Either way, the letter Q is more significant than the recent conspiracy theories.

It's a reference to the Department of Energy "Q" clearance, which, to people who don't understand anything, is an "Above Top Secret" clearance for super-duper secret deep-state nefarious activities.

Obviously it is not that, it permits one to access all classes of SNM and Restricted Data covered by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954.

I see a lot of these data providers investing in chat style interfaces too, the main plus with aws is all the extra data a Confluence chat interface won’t have for example. Not sure how you reconcile inconsistent data from say slack and confluence. If they get it right though, this will be the top of the stack for AI for a lot of companies
