   Why are companies slapping "OS" in their product naming? it's stupid

      From the GitHub page:

          This is not a traditional computer operating system. We use the term "operating system" in two senses:
      
          - An operating system for the company to be productive with AI, in a way that is safe, so that the security team can sleep at night.
          - An operating system for AI workloads, analogous to the sense in which a traditional operating system manages compute workloads.

         It looks to me like they just wanted to distinguish their product from other AI agents/sandboxes, so they called it an OS to make it sound bigger and better.
