Their own tweets are also pretty eyebrow-raising:
> One option we discussed was that Tristan could be the lead author on a rewrite of OpenAI’s Navier-Stokes proof. It is in that context that I said “it would be simpler if Levent was not an Anthropic employee” because I felt it would be inappropriate for an Anthropic employee to author OpenAI’s work.
Why would you offer another researcher the lead authorship on your groundbreaking paper if you thought you had developed it independently?
- dgellow 25d agoAnd why cannot they have someone associated with Anthropic as co-author? That’s not obvious at all. For sure they would prefer to be the only ones, but it’s pretty standard to have co-authors from different companies, even if they are technically competitors. What is inappropriate about it?

- andrepd 25d agoHoly late capitalism. Everything revolves around line-go-up, and sociopaths rule the show. These people cannot even collaborate like civilised scientists on one of the most famous open problems in mathematics? “It would be simpler if Levent was not an Anthropic employee” I cannot believe this shit.
- zingababba 25d agoSoon Levent will just be turned into soylent and he will have never been an Anthropic employee. We still need some progress here though.

In the initial presentation of Darwin and Wallace's work on evolution (presented with their consent by someone else) Wallace was described as the primary author since he was planning to publish first. Of course, no one understood that presentation so it was Darwin's later book that everyone remembers
