Elliptic-curve cryptography has seen zero progress over 30 years. The best algorithms are the generic ones -- 2^128 time for 256-bit curves (excluding improvements on memory etc.). Does this mean AI won't do something radical? No, but there's no reason to think that it will. 6/n

In case people think I am advocating for not being cautious, or thinking that AI won't be an issue for any cryptography, that's not the case. Let me word what I think would be a balanced approach regarding AI and crypto. 1/n

I wasn’t going to comment since this is a really bad take IMO, but since it’s taken off I feel the need to. To my understanding, there is no evidence whatsoever pointing to a break of decades old hardness assumptions like elliptic curve cryptography. 1/n
