Name Change?

[pewdiepie-archdaemon]

Odysseus -> Odyssey

• Makes more sense
• Easier to say / Remember

• Annoying to change name

Potato, potahto; It's honestly fine either way. But yeah, the "annoying to change the name" argument is incredibly valid lol.

About your comment that it's "easy to remember," I think that if you keep it unchanged, people will continue to use it and store it in their memory. We should also think about other languages how they pronounce it, which is why I believe "Odysseus" still a good choice

the reason why i say that is having to spell that every time i want to talk about it into the llm was frustrating. lmao.

Honestly, even though this project hasn't been out for very long, the name itself has already become somewhat iconic to me. Odyssey, in comparison, just feels more simplistic/generic, in some ways, I guess. Although it could also be a totally different story if it were originally released under the name of Odyssey, and the opposite question was being asked. Thus, I honestly don't have a strong opinion either way. So I think whatever works best long-term for development and PewDiePie's own goals/feelings is the best option.

Either way, I'm super excited to continue watching the growth of this project.

Odysseus is a person - was the cleverest Greek, Odyssey is just a way to say journey.
For an AI, naming it after the character makes more sense it implies agency and intelligence, rather than an act or process or whatever

I really don't see this as an issue. I view this more as hint to a hidden attack on the existing privacy & security landscape considering it's a local-first and off-line alternative to the other platform options. It's coming into the ring, if they like it or not.

The relation to a Trojan horse is a tactic. All based on personal perspective I suppose though.
