Ha that’s hilarious! And no I work at another tech company, but I totally understand how minio decided to go with that marketing. It’s really infuriating and yet understandable.
When the AI craze stated, so many people in my company came to me asking “if we can run AI workload”? another thing we offer is fairly generic compute meant for your average web applications or micro service etc. Initially I said “I don’t think so. We don’t have GPUs nor do we have any ability to express hardware requirements beyond CPU and Memory. We’ll need to do some work to include GPU into that”.
Then hilariously I learned that you don’t need GPUs or ASICs to be able to run “AI workloads”. If your compute allows you to call OpenAI rest APIs, then you’re also “AI Ready”.
Because apparently Minio is for AI these days: https://min.io/
