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.

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.

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.

Didn't google drop the no evil thing when they rebranded to Alphabet?

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 24 points 2 hours ago

No, it was several years before that.
