They are pointing out in this article that the way that the problem is devised for the computer makes it basically already solved. The quantum computer get a list of all the factors and, after a bunch of hand waving, picks one. Something a vic20 an abacus and a dog can all do too.

Some people would stand for that sort of thing but frankly I can't imagine why....

I know. Its super strange. Baby Godzilla exists. I guess they just wanted him to fly or something.

Well maybe OpenAI has only made 0 dollars now. But, give it a few years and its sure to make at least $000,000,000,000.00.

I think that the era of platform locked internal tools is close to being over, at least for smaller organizations.

AI sucks for innumerable reasons, but the ability to create internal tooling for specialized systems is now something that organizations of smaller and smaller sizes can now take advantage of. IE, write a printer interface that does xyz for our machine and integrates with CUPS instead of a windows print server. Now we can save a Windows server license and an expensive proprietary software license.

AI is still absolutely terrible though. Never open a port to anything vibe coded ever.

Yes and as far as I can tell, they all have that as their system. Also the changing of the password every quarter which has proven to actually decrease password security and increase password reuse.

I should say, if anyone knows a bank with proper modern online security protocols I am willing to listen.

Occam's razor probably points to having access to graph paper in school and connecting corners.

Why an S?

That all has to do with Cthulu as S is widely known as his favorite letter.

Fair point but I am not going to do all my shopping exclusively out of catalogs and mail in my payment with cash.

Its a shitty situation but short of government regulation (ha) nothing is going to change.
