Could better AI math expose a weakness in crypto’s security?
@Legendaryy on the reasoning behind Justin Drake’s “bunker mode” warning.
“This is the part that I think got misunderstood by the timeline very, very strongly. His point is not to say that we are advancing way, way faster because we have seen a quantum breakthrough. That is not the case.
His point is to say AI got so good at math, figuring out all these math problems, who is to say that there is not a weakness to exploit in that elliptic curve algorithm because we can now do math at a way better level?
And this is his advice. Vitalik is taking a bit of an opposing view here, saying, look, he’s not advising people to move their funds to new wallets.”
