alt Hacker NewsI like it. It's cool and better than Opus, Fable, Sonnet etc.
Like who can figure out the ordering? With Luna < Terra < Sol < Astra it's obvious at a glance.
I propose for some third company to name after monsters: Cyclops < Minotaur < Ettin < Cerberus < Hydra < Kraken < Nyarlathotep (the AGI singularity stage)

It.. is?
Oh thats funny, I previously thought Luna > Terra because I assumed the order was “further away from earth = better”. I guess that speaks for itself.
There is also more room upwards. Galaxy? Quasar? Filament?
I mean, Haiku < Sonnet < Opus < Fable/Mythos makes just as much sense. They're larger and larger works.
Maybe if English is your first language it does.
opus fable sonnet haiku is way more obvious than luna terra sol astra imo

Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus also made sense to me, but Fable ruined it. It isn't at all clear that a fable is bigger/grander than someone's magnum opus—actually, I'd think probably the opposite.
I don't think it gets better if you swap "fable" for "myth" either, although when you add "-os" to the end it suddenly sounds grander so there's that. Mythos isn't a model I can use, though.
