Does it scare anyone that Zuckerberg named his daughter Maxima?

Anyone with a passing understanding of AI can see that for someone like Zuck, this is the equivalent of naming your child something like "Apex" or "The Solution".

Maybe he just has a thing for Nissans.

Would you ask the same question if it was a boy called Max?

No I wouldn't because "Maxima" is directly taken from AI terminology and "Maximus" is not.

Maxima is the Latin word for the plural of 'maximum'. It's essentially the feminine version of Maximus. It's been used as a name for a couple of thousand years. It's used as a term in AI, but as a name it has nothing to do with that.

Does anyone here have passing understanding of music?

I want to know what Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet and Diva is equivalent to.

A cursory glance at the responses indicates that the short answer is: no.
