Anthropic is pretty clearly using the Häagen-Dasz approach here, call yourself Anthropic and your product Claude so you seem French. Why?

Hah, it was indeed the Claude name that had me confused :D

According to Claude, it’s named after Claude Shannon, who was American.

But it might also be the albino alligator in the California Academy of Sciences in SF.

Everyone spies and abuses individuals' privacy. What difference does it make? (Granted I would agree with you if Anthropic were indeed a foreign based entity, so am I contradicting myself wonderfully?)

Ah yes - Mistral is the largest of the non-US, non-Chinese AI companies that I'm aware of.

> The concern remains even if it’s a US corporation though (not government owned servers).

Very much so, I completely agree.
