There's no way the connection isn't intentional!

I could easily see Anthropic picking it independently, Claude Shannon studied entropy of human text and measured the loss a human could achieve in predicting the next character of text given preceding context.

Ah yes, now that you point it out that sounds reasonable.

They missed a trick with their typeface, which could have made another nomative connection. Maybe Garamond just isn't web-safe enough.
