Yeah probably not the mythological Prometheus.

You gotta respect the man for how much he seems to relish in being pure evil. Prometheus like the movie, about the bald dudes who created life? And the ultimate artificial lifeform as a weapon that wiped em all out in the end? That’s a masterclass in Saturday morning ass villainy this Jeff practices.

He look like Dr. Evil, too, with those eyes.
At least Dr. Evil listened to his cronies and acknowledged he was out of touch with his initial low-ball demands.

You… do know the name comes from Greek mythology and not that movie? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus
It is the god that stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity. A much more favourable view on the name. Sorry, I am just really concerned that someone thinks of that movie first when hearing the name.

Plot twist: it’s secretly Jeff’s comment and he only knows the name from the movie.

I didn’t know of the myth, can I have a billion dollars now? I promise I won’t even traumatize Bill Shatner by uncaringly shaking champagne around him with it.

Yes! Exclusively for llm expenses though!

Fair play, TIL.
I figured it was something from Greek mythology (probably), but I don’t have that particular kind of special interest so I never looked into it.
