I think it’s usually pretty customary to attribute the original source if you’re going to write an exposition. They go through enough work explaining exactly the location of the furniture store, you’d think they’d have the courtesy to link to the tweet which actually made the discovery.
As has been pointed out though, IA has a pretty tenuous relationship with the Musk/chan adjacent parts of the internet, so it doesn’t surprise me they deliberately left those facts out.

How many others "solved it"? Where is the official record of this? Who really was first? Did someone solve it before 2018? Did more than one party solve it, independently, recently? Trying to untangle that and be sure, isn't simple. They covered this by saying many eyeballs solved it, and then went on to their key message, highlighting the importance of archives, and showing how their archive proves the solution is correct. My point is, pointing an accusatory finger at them, and saying they are trying to take credit is not fair.
