| You know him socially but is there a reason you’re writing this rather than him? It looks like he has his own web presence. Cynical read would be you’re stealing his thunder a bit by prematurely announcing this before it’s fully confirmed |

| Tom knows I'm a freelance writer and decided to give me the scoop. He's more interested in linguistics than he is in journalism. |

| Promoting your friends' work is hardly stealing their thunder. It's increasing their thunder! |

| Isn't it customary for the author of a post shared on HN to leave a comment on the thread? |

| What thunder? Claude did the work and used a human to interface with experience and causality better. |

| ▲ | Kosturdistan an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | Claude helped, it did not do the work. It would have taken Tom more time to crack on his own, and it would have been harder, but the key insights were Tom's not Claude's. | |
| ▲ | ben_w 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | The thunder is as per the headline. Assuming it passes review. One of the things I find weird with AI is how the dismissals of work that involve AI splits into two camps: like yours, saying the AI did the work while the human played no role and deserves no credit; and those saying the AI rips off its training data while the human using it played no role and deserves no credit. | | |
| ▲ | iwontberude 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I exist in both camps. Claude can’t launder human achievement into a different person. Claude stole it, but it’s still in Claude’s possession and is not transferable in any durable sense. | | |

No human, individually or as a team, has been able to solve this to date. To the extent this was Claude solving it itself and thus denying Di Mino any thunder, there was nobody to have stolen anything from. To the extent he has thunder to be stolen, it wasn't ever in Claude's possession. | |
