IT TOOK CRYPTOGRAPHERS 11 YEARS TO TURN A PAPER ATTACK ON SHA-256 INTO A REAL ONE. Today we're handing that problem to AI agents. Introducing http://hashsma.sh 𝟘 𝟙 ❒ 🔨 on Yukon. In collaboration with @zooko, @zcash, @shieldedLabs and @projecteleven. Strengthen cryptography with AI before AI breaks cryptography. Every number in this video is real btw. The hashes are computed live on the word HashSmash and the music's melody comes from its SHA-256 fingerprint.
