Glad to know my own internal prediction engine still works.

- jug 9mo agoSurprised they didn't just try Clawbot first. I can see the case against "Clawd" (I mean; seriously...) but claws are a different matter IMHO, with that mascot and all.
- SyneRyder 9mo agoIt's probably still a bit too close. "Claw'd" might actually be a trademark of Anthropic now. The character and name originates from this Claude Sonnet 3.5 advertisement in June 2024, promoting the launch of the Artifacts feature by building an 8-bit game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHqk0ZGb6qo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHqk0ZGb6qo "Have the crab jump up and over oncoming seashells... I think I want to name this crab... Claw'd." Also, if you haven't found it hidden in Claude Code yet, there's a secret way to buy Clawd merch from Anthropic. Still waiting on them to make a Clawd plushie, though.
- buu700 9mo agoI called this outcome the second I saw the title of the post the other day. Granted, I have some experience in that area, as someone who once upon a time had the brilliant idea to launch a product on HN called "Napster.fm".
