Could have just called it "clawbot" and maintained some of the hype while eliminating the IP concerns.
Instead they chose a completely different name with unrecognizable resonance.

A cease and desist doesn't mean you have to stop doing everything it says. It only means you should comply with the law.
If that's your logic they can make you do anything they like. They can ask you for $100m "because I said so" and you'll comply to avoid spending $200m on lawyers.
I think it’s fine, they found a way to frame it over a lobster’s lifecycle.
Plenty of worse renames of businesses have happened in the past that ended up being fine, I’m sure this one will go over as such as well.
Apparently "clawbot" wasn't allowed either: https://x.com/steipete/status/2016091353365537247
