so nobody has pointed out the connection that’s too obvious to quote tweet, yet still explains everything. it’s named after the founder

enough people have dunked on these guys, but I want to point something out. the thing they are offering is ostensibly out-of-distribution high-taste data or data curation.

and yet, everything they are wearing is extremely in-distribution. these are normalcore outfits, every single one of them. there is nothing unique about the way a single one of them are dressed, nothing interesting, nothing to inspire or delight.

and sure, maybe that is fine. maybe what they actually want is to sell "high-taste" in-distribution data to make the models a bit better but not unlike they already are - constraining to the upper bound of what is already possible without making possible anything new.

maybe that's enough for 18.5 million and a small team. I'm not sure. but I am sad! I think a company like this should dream bigger. all I see is the same uniqlo-shaped beige slop. they are yelling at you that they are high taste and you should trust them but there is no evidence for this.

also, their logo is really bad. unforced error. though it does look cool on the website
