(research direction, strategy) and Claude/Anthropic (implementation, computation). This Claude guy is pretty prolific it seems. But I'll wait for some known cryptographers to chime in

>Just wait a day or two for the first crypto person who notices to pick the claim to pieces. we went to cryptographic experts first and published second, after they said it is a very good result and worth publishing. We've given a lot of help for reproducibility, the c and python programs encode the claims very precisely and anyone can verify the claims in ten minutes. The bottom line is that you wouldn't have seen t…
