I'm just amazed at what a bad name that is. "Comma One"... Did they never think that it would be called the The Coma One after even the slightest inevitable incident? Or that a segment of people will be innocently misspelling it as "Coma" everywhere? and how quickly it could catch on?

It's so obvious it seems almost Freudian ...

It's not a great name, but I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and assume it's "all things AI". Think classification language, like "Car, Self-Driving". They could be "Car, AI" and "Assistant, AI".

Less charitably, it's step one toward Tres Commas.

Given that he referenced the HBO show in his Techcrunch presentation, I'd say the reference to the three comma club is probably the most likely.

Also, one comma would be $1000, which is what the thing was supposed to cost.

I don't know if it was ever intended as a consumer facing name, but even without the "coma" puns, it's too wonky for customers, do you think?

Besides, isn't one comma 99k worth of room? It's marketing lingo aimed at the hubris of venture capitalists.

/ or yeah a bit from Silicon Valley, got it.

I can imagine overhearing the mass market consumers: "Oh, the name is inspired from classification language ... "

Yes when you point it out, it's a tremendously awful name.
