if this is an internal code-name OK, but this public post sounds more like a product name. How is it OK to hijack the widely-known artist, with no other meaning

if this is an internal code-name OK, but this public post sounds more like a product name. How is it OK to hijack the widely-known artist, with no other meaning, for your commercial VR product ? "Antoni Gaudí i Cornet was a Catalan architect from Spain known as the greatest exponent of Catalan Modernism. Gaudí's works have a highly individualized, sui generis style. Most are located in Barcelona, including his main work, the church of the Sagrada Família"

Seems more like an homage than a hijacking?

  It's cute, but completely tone-deaf.

      Among other points, there's the obvious one that his designs never seemed to work as designed and took decades longer than planned to finish.

There is DALLE and Inception from other groups (openai and google ) . Also Big Bird and Bert. It’s basically okay as long as anyone would find an issue or involve lawyers at least for Deep Learning researchers .

  Dali -> DALL-E Gaudi -> GAUD-E?

    Speaking of which, can you take DALL-E output and feed it in and get 3D art? Or maybe someday prompt-to-3D direct, although the right kind of training data might not be there yet.

Not to mention the (trademarked) Gaudi processor for ML/AI: https://habana.ai/training/gaudi2/ https://habana.ai/training/gaudi2/ Wondering whether this Gaudi software can be ported to use Gaudi SDK :-)

    Complaining about voting gets you downvoted, pretty reliably. It's also against the community guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html EDIT: plus, I guess your second comment is insinuating about brigading, which is also against said guidelines. :D

So what is the thought process here. That Apple is going to name their next flagship device: ML-Gaudi ? As opposed to this just being a playful name for an open-source project.
