Gemeni, or the twins, is a deeply symbolic name for anyone who knows Greek history. It’s the story of Castor and Pollux, and in many versions of the story one brother killed the other only to beg for them to come back. It’s ominous to use this brand name for AI.
It’s also associated to the Gemini killer and Joseph Testa and Anthony Senter who were famous as the mafia’s Gemini twins hitmen.
I think better brands could have been had.
It does sound like some battlefield AI system from Robotron. “Sir, Gemini is charged and ready for battle.”
Perhaps. Corporate entomologies tend to be very well rehearsed stories, and I’ve been around the valley long enough to know those stories aren’t always the whole story.
I would encourage you to read the Kissinger / Schmidt book before settling your opinion.
That origin story may be true. But it doesn’t make the whole story necessarily.

I've never heard of any of these people and I doubt most others have either. Maybe you have to be a true crime enthusiast to know the lore? Whereas if the name were Zodiac, then I would at least be aware there's a potential murderer connection.
