Why didn't they just call it LeLabs?


I was thinking the same, are all people he hires LeSomething like those working at Bolson Construction having -son as a suffix.


First grinding LEetcode, now having to have 'Le' in the name?

I have no chance in AI industry...


LesLabs would have sounded more French ;)


LeBron is missing out an opportunity to invest


Or LeX


The guy overseeing the funds is called LeFunde and the guy doing the fine-tuning LeTune??


He just made a joke


nominative determinists are running the world


Bolson-ass hiring policy.


These all are claude agents name right?


It almost sound as if an LLM thought this up!
