"Open Compute" being trademarked is pretty ironic

TLDR: ROCM is AMD's variant for general purpose compute on GPUs, like CUDA is for NVIDIA.
OpenAI being for profit.
I use ROCM extensively (I write, design and train my own AIs/LLMs) and it's annoying of an acronym, especially in command lines:
But I figure it's a four letter acronym to match "CUDA".
I also pronounce it "Rock'em" in verbal versus "Koo'dah" (Barracuda).
Everything is about marketing and goodwill. You can just say something has "blast processing" and fail to elaborate.

This seems to be a non-profit
Well,
FSFOSI would have trademarked "Open Source" if they could.Adanisi@lemmy.zip · 9 pts · 1y

Given the context, I choose to believe smth means "shaking my tiny head".

I made this joke to people who work for AMD. I was a bit shocked that it hadn't occurred to them :D

Right. Thirsty marketers ruin everything.

Would "Open Computing" be tradmarked? Kinda like how shows would change a letter or two in a name to not get lawsuit like "Metflix" or "MeTube"
