So far, we’ve only seen two near-impossible cases where AI solved problems humans couldn’t crack for years: 1. May 13: Claude successfully recovered the password to a wallet containing 5 BTC, worth over $398,000, after the owner had been locked out for 9 years. 2. Sept 15: GPT-6 Astra cracked a 108-year-old German radio cipher from WWI that had remained unsolved since 1918, then cross-checked the result against historical records and proved itself right. What’s next? Gemini unraveling the true origin of mankind?
