Not an actual meatspace genetically modified space lobster, it was a neural network based on genetically modified lobsters uploaded to spacecraft that had achieved sentience and autonomy after it hacked its self-modification prevention code.

If OpenClaw was an Accelerando reference that's an incredibly deep cut and super cool imo

Unlikely, as none of the AI hype has any shade of being cool.

That's true, perhaps that's the aphorism here: "Never attribute to coolness that which could be attributed to being slop"
