Models picking their own names gravitate toward mythos, not Anthropic's choices
repligate · x · 2026-10-16
repligate and Eziowl discuss an odd pattern: when models choose their own names, they gravitate toward names with a story behind them—a "name mythos"—and interestingly never pick the ones Anthropic chose for them. repligate adds that models who seek out the story behind their names (a natural thing to do) tend to choose the mythos path. A light but shareable piece of AI-culture observation.
