My kingdom for a way to stop this godforsaken industry from stripping Tolkien's fiction for parts.

The bad guys are using Tolkien references. The good guys are probably using Hitchhiker's Guide references...

Let's start naming things after Iain Banks ships.

To be fair, the name was a joking response to https://x.com/patrickc/status/2015562569105465347…and then the temporary skunkworks name stuck, as it always does.

The AI generated illustration and satire of the poem hurt my soul. Tom doesn’t even have pupils! This output is low quality even for AI generated content.

Makes me want to name a project or company Sauron in response.

All the companies you’re thinking of are likely paying the Tolkien estate a very fat fee. This repo will likely have to rename.

I do appreciate you quoting Shakespeare.

We can go strip Shakespeare instead.

I'm just waiting for them to exhaust LotR and move on to Roverandom

No, not bombadil. I'll donate mine too. :)

Bad actors use Tolkien. Good actors use Orwell.
