I entered Bitcoin world back in 2014 and I remember people working on the same exact thing back then too! In other words this is not new. Hardware has improved but not enough to make a significant difference in order to make this a possibility. That means your attempt at conveying a sense of urgency is wrong.
However, I fully support any discussion about our replacement options.
In 2014 AI wasn’t a thing. Let alone AGI, which is still not a thing today but we are getting closer.
A decade ago all people had was google and when they decide to build a very complex algorithm or do a complicated math problem, they were on their own.
Nowadays you can explain a 10 step algorithm to chatgpt and it will do the math for you.
These might not seem related but they are because somebody somewhere is using these tools way more intelligently than the average consumer.
I saw yesterday Jameson Lopp has already made a proposal to make btc quantum resistant and that means some alarms are ringing.
