I was talking about the companies Palantir and Anduril. Whoever chose those names are not true Lord of the Rings fans because even though they used names from Lord of the Rings they should know that Tolkien would never have approved of it. Thus, they are not Lord of the Rings fans but rather are just using the names for clickbait purposes. To me personally a tech bro indicates a more casual, nonprofessional - someone who is interested in tech as a hobby. They might do bit coin mining or some casual stock investment but they are not big corporate overlords like those who run Palantir and Anduril. Though of course I could be generalizing too.
Interesting, to me a tech bro means someone who isn’t really interested in tech other than as a vehicle to make money. The people going fad after fad through blockchain, metaverse, NFTs, AI, all as an investment opportunity without actually having any real technical knowledge about any of it. The people who aren’t geeks but are faking it as a front to convince investors and consumers that they invented something of value. A fake interest in LOTR fits my view of tech bros exactly.
The people happy to build the Torment Nexus and name it after a LOTR artifact as if it wasn’t an affront to LOTR.
You don’t consider who true LOTR fans? You just said these don’t count because they are companies.
