I feel like naming something Q is about as tone deaf, or as much of a dog whistle, as making something have the acronym ISIS
It's probably based on Q learning, which has been around for 30+ years, and I'm guessing the star is a nod to A* because it's an optimization of some kind.
Yeah it's weird. AWS has a Q LLM too: https://aws.amazon.com/q/
You'd think someone would tell them about qanon
Oh?
No dude, you are just flooded with too much US tabloid politics.
When a major cultural event occurs, symbols and words can be forced into new meanings in that society after having gone through the significant or traumatic event.
The swastika, historically a symbol symbolizing representing well being and prosperity, now cannot be seen without associating it with hatred fascism.
I think it's relevant for a western country to consider the concept that "Q" can be interpreted in different ways than it was before but a significant number of people, and a large company should have something like that on their radar, especially for a marketing/branding perspective.
Well comparing Q to the swastika maybe reasonable on the basis on both of their background ideas being deranged to a similar degree, but the Q movement’s historical insignificance is just laughable in comparison.
Blacklisting the letter Q because of a handful of dipshits that most of the world doesn’t even know about is preposterous.
