I'm all for naming things in honor of Rosalind Franklin, but this seems like incredible misplaced hubris instead.

It’s kind of gross to make money off her name (if that’s what’s happening) posthumously. It’s a complicated story anyway. IIRC her sister referred to it as “the Cult of Rosalind” when people were cashing in on books about her.

I'd rather the AI companies make up names, or name their products things like "Clod" than use my name (if they were to ask) - as no matter how good it looks today eventually it'll be some form of laughingstock.

Claude is most likely a nod to Claude Shannon, father of information theory and an early AI pioneer.

The real hubris will be to name a model Turing, or Alan if you’re a bit more discrete.
