> "Claude" is a (registered) trademark of Anthropic PBC.

The author is attempting to bait Anthropic by using their registered trademarked product name to send a cease and desist for attention. This is how it works:

1. Anthropic sends the cease and desist and tells him to change the (domain) name. The author does it quickly.

2. The author then in another blog post says he got so much attention, Anthropic tried to shut him down.

3. Everyone falls for it and the author relaunches with the new project / domain name + with more attention.

The domain similarity and layout looks like a setup for that purpose for manufactured drama and attention so that he can make another post crying wolf about Anthropic shutting him down.

I was going to point out that the Claude was trademarked, it didn’t cross my mind that it was by design.
