Gotta admit, I’m a sucker for a well-dressed mysterious preview. Really excited to see what Lefos is all about.

Oh… not what I expected this to be about.
I unironically thought that it was going to be an essay on naming characters in fiction. Like simplicity vs. self-imposed complexity.
Ah, anyway, what's clear enough is that Earendil is a tragically bad name for a company.
I was really hoping for some kind of Nintendo/Silmarillion crossover.
This is good too, I guess.
From browsing the Earendil website, I'm honestly not sure if this is a software startup or a cult...
There seems to be a pattern associated with grabbing names from Tolkien.
Palantir, Anduril...
The Dark Lord minions are really busy lately.
So, is Earendil, just Pi?
They also have an AI mailbox service called Lefos.
