I think you missed the point. Things should look like what they are.

The Linux kernel is ultimately a friendly open-source project. There's no harm in it being marketed using a cartoon penguin.

These AI services, meanwhile, are the dangled lights on the heads of data-hungry environment-threatening job-killing leviathantine anglerfish.

Making the dangled light present as non-threatening is not a good thing for society, no matter how much you may personally like pretty lights.

The one time a similar mascot to FreeBSD's would've made sense.

Imagine 2001: A Space Odyssey with Meta's "Jolly" avatar as HAL instead of a blinking red camera lens.

So much more terrifying for a cute, round, fuzzy, friendly, rosy-cheeked plushie trying to exterminate the crew.

> commit sudoku

Hilarious.

I miss o3 in that regard. if GPT-4o led people into virtual romance and over-validation, o3 gave me the same sort of "madness" but with work.

when I tried GPT-5, I was sad mostly because GPT-5 had some added wordiness. fluff, if you will. o3, though, is a black hole you can talk to, and it only gave information back if there was something to give back. that kind of vibe is my dream coworker

Yes, it is hard, psychologically, to grant trust to some silly perverse little thing I want crush like a surreal cartoonish cockroach.
