alt Hacker NewsThis is an Anthropic fumble and Clawdbot could have been theirs a long time ago instead of going to OpenAI who cleverly outdone them on marketing this fumble.
Anthropic just made themselves look incredibly bad with the way they handled that when they sent a cease and desist to OpenClaw which that back-fired right in their faces.
Mistakes have been made.

I thought Pete mentioned on lex's podcast that anthropic did not send a cease and desist. They kindly asked him to remove all references .to Clawd from the project

It's a meme project. I'm not a CEO fanboy but Open AI leadership chases hype while Anthropoc's leadership seems more focused on useful things. So the acquisition makes sense.
Exactly the same as the OpenCode drama, at this point OpenAI are just getting free customers from common sense.
Anthropic seem oddly focused on their moat being the app, rather than the underlying intelligence and model. Which is odd when Claude Claude is no better than all the other harnesses.
