The Brand 'Watsonx' is a Terrible Name for IBM 'Hey Hi' (Chatbots) Because Watson Agreed With Adolf Hitler
Our previous article gently reminded readers that IBM is connected to Adolf Hitler. The founder named after himself a subsidiary that provided hardware to Hitler's death camps (Poland) and generally agreed with Hitler.
Almost a century has passed and IBM still believes that selling "intelligence", chatbots in particular, should be done under the name "Watson". Homage to who? Homosexuals? They too were eliminated in these death camps. Let that sink in any time IBM preaches to us about "diversity"...
When MElon added some Grok chatbot to Twitter (months before it came a child pornography "on-demand" site) people rushed to dub it "MechaHitler", based on its leanings towards Nazi-esque ideology.
Does IBM not understand that a chatbot (or similar) claiming to emulate Watson would come across as another "MechaHitler"?
We already made this sort of observation several times in 2020.
Some people in our community are mildly - and perhaps rightly - irritated when Red Hat staff labels them Nazis, conveniently forgetting their salary comes from a death camp hardware supplier (and yes, IBM knew!). To IBM, anyone who dares oppose some IBM thing is defaulted to or trivialised as "must be nazi" or "might be a nazi bar"... (with capital N sometimes, for the grammar nazis out there)
The double standard and projection tactics know no boundaries. █
