Part 6/11:
This development could open gates to general intelligence (AGI)—machines capable of solving problems across disciplines without human-embedded algorithms. It is seen as a potential algorithmic breakthrough akin to the release of word vectors that ignited the Transformer revolution.
Cracking Cryptography and Impact on Security
Leaks suggest that QAR has already achieved impressive feats in cryptanalysis:
It potentially decrypted AES-192 ciphertext—an encryption deemed virtually unbreakable within the age of classical computing—doing so seemingly "trivially" or at least significantly faster than expected.
It demonstrated ciphertext-only attacks, deciphering encrypted messages without keys, a feat that shadows the supposed limits of current cryptography.
