The consensus here is that Anthropic was 100% right. The name “Clawdbot” was super confusing, and tons of users in this thread admit that they thought it was an official Anthropic project. Kudos to both parties for handling the trademark issue amicably instead of burning everything down.
That said, the thread also devolved into a huge hatefest for the phrase “And honestly?” in the developer's announcement. Seriously, y'all really, really hate that.
Other hot takes:
The announcement, clearly written by an LLM, is perceived as cringe.
For those asking, Clawdbot (now Molty) is a tool for persistent context and automating your digital life.
No one is particularly excited about the new name “Molty” either.
