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.
- ben_w 4mo ago> 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.
- iwontberude 4mo agoActually it’s the flattening of achievement to be some guy, Claude or a combination of both when really it was neither.
- ben_w 4mo ago"Flattening of achievement" is true for the overwhelming majority of people named and revered for their genius. Shakespeare didn't invent many of his plot lines, Einstein used Lorentz' transform (amongst other things) etc. As reported (I have no skin in this), Di Mino appears to have used Claude to write tool to perform statistical analysis to test an idea he had, and in such cases as this it seems to me fairer to praise the human using the machine than to praise a director for the films acted, filmed, written, and edited by others.

- blackqueeriroh 4mo agoI’m confused; do you actually believe a large language model named “Claude” went out and hoovered up all the information about this Minoan problem? If not, how did “Claude” steal anything?
