i hope we first lose people who post dumb essays on twitter.
at least he agrees that "he can't see the future"
there is just as much evidence for the opposite stance: AI can help us improve and formally verify every security reduction we use. As long as math allows some kind of trapdoor function, AI can help us produce the best crypto we can achieve from it.
Such a bitter take. It's pathetic to ask for such certainty, such absolutes. We should offload, offgas, discuss. These feelings these impulses: it's glory to have them captured, written.
AI can help us improve! That's true, but not a different point. The story here resounds with me, if you read the follow up threads linked elsewhere in this submission. We've relied heavily on a small handful of mathematicians around a very small number of public key cryptography algorithms. Is this the best humanity could do? Meh. Not really.
I think it's more likely AI is good for attack than creation. I do think we'll be ok! But this genuflecting on what is, it rocks.
I hope we first lose people who post on twitter, as I can't read the replies
I agree, but this link worked for me:
