i bet the majority of people reading this will reach the 1st line of the 2nd paragarph, and not think that claude cracked the encryption
I don't have the data but I don't think most people look past the title.

There seems to be a mass delusion about how capable SOTA models actually are. That's my only explanation for how poorly I find them performing in basic knowledge tasks compared to how others describe their prowess.
I understand you to be implying that I shouldn't trust my perception that there's a meaningful difference in how much different models hallucinate. I will take that under advisement, but I am still interested in the answer to my original question.
Nope. Also I'm not GP.

It's sarcasm. Everyone who had coin in Mt.Gox lost it during a hack. A portion of that was returned to the users who had a loss about a year ago.
Yeah my 100 stolen bitcoins got me a cool $4k check from the settlement. Definitely made whole by that :|
"the user dumped their entire college computer files in Claude in a last-gasp effort." Claude has limits that would make this simple statement be much more complicated- Via Claude "So the chat upload file size limit is actually 500MB per file (not 30MB as many third-party sources claim - those appear to be outdated). The 20-file-per-chat cap and the 30MB-per-file limit in Projects remain consistent across plans. The…
> Bitcoin trader recovers $400,000 using Claude AI after getting 'stoned' and losing wallet password 11 years ago — bot tried 3.5 trillion passwords before decrypting an old wallet backup Man. I wish I had a lost wallet worth a quarter of that even, technically didn't need Claude for this, just needed any password cracking software.
Explaining your life to an llm, then having it generate permutations of passwords to try does sound like it would work a decent percentage of the time. A large percentage of passwords aren't a random string of characters but a memorable word + memorable number. There's existing projects that basically do the same, and 3.5 trillion doesn't really make it clear if one of those wouldn't have worked as well, but I can se…
I cannot relate to this at all. This information doesn't really seem that helpful. What might the strategy look like? Including spouses names or other proper nouns associated with you. But it's going to be a massive brute force effort still, and the likelyhood of a targeted crack that performs significantly better than more naive brute force passwords seems so unlikely.
Are your passwords like "SPOUSE_NAME:HOMETOWN_NAME"? Even if so there are probably more people with dictionary words that can be brute forced faster. IT would have to be the case that more people use patterns like that compared to something a regular dictionary attack could crack.

I had a high school friend that died about 10 years ago from an over dose. He was always tech forward and had talked in the past about getting drugs from the dark web to sell locally. I wasn't particularly close with him after high school, but he was an only child, and I can only imagine his (older) parents just tossed his computer. I wouldn't be surprised if he had had a few hundred BTC on there.

The idea that someone (the NSA?) is training models on all of our collected info, and using that to predict all of our hidden information, is horrifying. The best time to start using a password manager was 10 years ago. The second best time is now.
