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.
