What's super cringe is that there already was a company called Thinking Machines, which built the Connection Machine supercomputer. The CM was featured in the movie Jurassic Park and had a network fabric for its CPUs co-designed by Richard Feynman.

This is yet another techbro outfit (although founded by a techsis) necromancing the name of the former supercomputer company. It's as if OpenAI decided to call itself Symbolics for the associations with that name.
