Why pay for a safety audit when you can just slop code entire mission critical systems on a good weekend

Exactly
The ridiculous arguments by Ambani’s army of Internet shills make no sense
On the one hand, they say Starlink couldn’t possibly compete with the amazing low prices offered by Ambani’s de facto monopoly in India and then, in the same breath, they essentially claim that Starlink would be too strong of a competitor! This is absurd hypocrisy and hyperbole.
The reality is that competition would greatly benefit the average citizen in India by giving them more choices, as it always does. Ambani’s profits will be lower, but he is not going out of business. And, obviously, if Starlink is too expensive in India, no one will buy it, so SpaceX will need to make pricing affordable.
The models are responding to their training and are a reflection of the culture of the organization that is building them
OpenAI thinks it's building a tool
Anthropic thinks it's building... something else
I asked Claude and then I asked chat gpt and this is just nuts. Claude was all “Wellllllllll we really don’t knooowww” and ChatGPT was like “yeah you’re right.”
Same with grok.
Anthropic has really drunk the koolaid. I mean they all have but Anthropic REALLY has. (I’ll put an essay in the replies for anyone who is unaware of the religious tomfoolery that’s going on with all this)
This is what happens when you use a cheap provider
Wait till humanoid robots get here
Everybody gangsta until claude can vibe code objects in the real world
"claude, assemble this piece of furniture"
then eventually:
"claude build a house for me"
one day:
"claude, colonize this planet"
Yes
I've read this post 5+ times and I increasingly have trouble with the core point.
If ECDSA breaks without warning, we have so much more to worry about than our magic internet money. Internet security as a whole is gone. SSL/TLS gone, the internet is now transparent.
Not just internet security as well - a large portion of physical security would become irrelevant too. You can't have secure digital locks if encryption is dead. You can't secure surveillance footage if the gateway it's stored on can be wiped out on a whim.
We would have much bigger problems than "your magic internet money gets stolen." The floor would drop out of the global economy.
Most importantly - the answer to transparent encryption simply cannot be "hide your magic internet money" when the internet wouldn't exist anymore. You'd be relying on this technology coming back online, and not just that, you'd be relying on the tokens you stashed away being the relevant ones when it does.
I get the ~reasonable dooming here, but if we're going to doom you have to take it to its conclusion. You're going to be much better off investing in gold or cylindrical lead if your core hypothesis is "ECDSA could be broken within months"
