This was already suggested in this informative interview with the creator of OpenClaw.

Apparently there was a "bidding" between Facebook and OpenAI on CEO level.
And it was quite clear that the author was quite upset with Anthropic's lawyers push against similar name, and that he liked OpenAI's model more... 
This turned out to be a great way to get a good job... and have good fun in the process...

openclaw/openclaw: Your own personal AI assistant. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞@GitHub

TS, MIT

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant you run on your own devices. It answers you on the channels you already use (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, Microsoft Teams, WebChat), plus extension channels like BlueBubbles, Matrix, Zalo, and Zalo Personal. It can speak and listen on macOS/iOS/Android, and can render a live Canvas you control. The Gateway is just the control plane — the product is the assistant.

If you want a personal, single-user assistant that feels local, fast, and always-on, this is it.
