Pretty much every AI win story feels like this.


The guy also had to plug in an old hard drive for Claude to search. Sounds like he had an idea the wallet was on there to begin with.

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.


Aren't those people filtered out when he says "majority of people reading this"?


I assumed 'this' refers to the title. That may have been incorrect.
