What's up with the lobsters? Is it an Accelerando reference?

  Claude -> Clawd -> Moltbot -> Openclaw Only a few things have claws. Lobsters being one of them.

    Fair enough. Lobsters are cool.

  Surely! Too perfect to be accidental. Context: Charles Stross 2005 book Accelerando features simulated Lobsters that achieve consciousness and, with the help of the central character, escape their Russian servers for the cosmos.

    2005! Didn't realize it was that long ago. Have been thinking about that book every time I read about people that move to "100% AI coding" in their work. Sure, they might have an increased output, but what happens when their "computer is ripped off their face" like the main character?
