Shares get taxed on price, not on value.

Not yet. This would require some level of AI "agent" collaboration that is not really possible at this time without breaking basically everything. But model poisoning is already very feasible and probably done in practice, especially as the amount of poisoned training data needed does not seem to be large.

The dumb people are still there. Or have you somehow overlooked that a lot of people voted for this? Hence I have no clue what you are talking about when you claim I am ignoring things.

You need to take into account that the hardware does not keep forever. For this type of hardware, the errors probably start to become a problem after 5 years or so, because it is being run fast and hot. Hence hardware is not a sunk cost, but an ongoing cost.

Exactly my take as well. This is about making some people money, not about any real risk.

Definitively. Always insist to get the security of a known-good classical algorithm in addition. Relying on something "quantum safe" alone is pure insanity at this time.

My bet would be that breaking something like RSA 2048 with a QC is not possible in this universe. It is too small and has not enough remaining lifetime.

It is not old enough and may still fail with catastrophic weaknesses. The way to go for new products is to use hybrid encryption, where a successful attack requires breaking both a quantum safe algorithm and a classical (good) one. Or, if you can, stay classical, since Quantum Computers are very, very, very, very far removed from being able to break any real encryption. In fact, after more than 50 years of research, these "machines" can factor 29 currently (well, one could and that was with moderate cheating as it was not with the general algorithm, but with one specifically adapted to factor 29). For reference, that is 5 bit. Current RSA recommendations are 2048 bit or longer and 4096 for long-term, security. If the keep doubling these bits every 50 years (which is a really big "if"), RSA 2048 will be within reach in about 400 years.

Yes. And I hink the Brave filter is working quite well.

Indeed. MAGAs are hallucinating worse than the least capable LLMs. Quite an achievement, if not a positive one.

Looks like we are going towards idiocracy.

They do not. Voting in Switzerland is "citizens only". Incidentally, the Swiss government does not collect racial statistics on Swiss citizens. The racist cretin above is just hallucinating "facts" because he cannot deal with reality.

And you did pull all that right out of your ass. Well done, racist cretin.

The thing is, only about 10-15% of the population are independent thinkers and only about 20% can be convinced by rational argument (about 30% on questions not (!) important to them). The rest is like the person you described. No insight, no understanding and completely closed-off to facts. There is no known way to reach them. Sometimes a major catastrophe in their lives can do it, but even that is not assured to.

Well, time to fix all that crappy software. Or else.
