Going to push back just a little bit here. It's not really the opposite. Ie, it still has to follow traditional rules in trying to factor extremely large numbers. It can't do it any faster, or any ...

Perhaps more accurate to say that it is opposite in who it gives disproportionate power to. You can construct a fortress and one guy can come along and say "Yo Claude, find me an exploit" and have a swarm of agents discover every crack.

The really frightening thing is when this becomes "Hey Kimi, help me engineer this pathogen to be more virulent".

The Coldcard bug highlights that AI is the technological opposite of encryption. Where cryptography is a tool that gives those defending their privacy and property an asymmetric advantage, ever-more-intelligent LLMs give attackers their own asymmetric weapon to steal and surveil.

To maintain sovereignty in the future will demand far greater personal responsibility and prudence.

Going to push back just a little bit here. It's not really the opposite. Ie, it still has to follow traditional rules in trying to factor extremely large numbers. It can't do it any faster, or any differently. It's just more attack vectors can be analyzed by a single adversary.

Nah, I think it is the opposite to all of our shortcuts and attempts to put security second to convenience. Cryptography is sound and the source entropy was always its achilles heel. Cyprography always advertised that it is only ever as good as the entropy you give it.

Yes, you should be skeptical... cuz it's propaganda to make it look like Trump is in control.

I am in statist/corporatist paradise Switzerland 😅. 40% of my time I am in my room on my bed, fighting with my phantosmia seizures 🙈 (including right now). Thank you for thinking about ways tha...

I'm sorry, Katja. This sounds incredibly rough! It's one thing to be kicked out of your home, another to have so many memories and sentimental value stored there, and still another to be going through this while also navigating crippling seizures 💜 I hope you are able to stay strong through all of this.

Unfortunately, I live in the wrong hemisphere to be able to help you with a place to stay, but I wonder if there are some Lugano bitcoiners who might? Is it primarily just a place to stay you are looking for? Do you have a Geyser page for donations?
