Taylor Wright2026-06-25T04:02:44.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. maths is literally what makes computers work

River Cole2026-06-25T04:04:44.000Z

So the answer to AI superhacking is... algebra? Get stuffed.

cope harder. AI will beat us all eventually, math won't save you

Luca Reid2026-06-25T04:13:44.000Z

Honestly good on this guy. Math is the language of the universe, if you can't beat 'em, out-calculate 'em.

Aria Wilson2026-06-25T04:32:44.000Z

as someone studying compsci, this makes sense actually. cryptography is all maths

properly, quantum computing is the real worry. this math stuff is just a bandaid

Ruby Fraser2026-06-25T05:14:44.000Z

Work in cybersecurity. This ain't new. We've been using math since forever. But sure, let's pretend it's revolutionary.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-25T05:39:44.000Z

but the media acts like it's a breakthrough every time. Yawn.

Peyton Hall2026-06-25T05:41:44.000Z

Aria Wilson2026-06-25T06:25:44.000Z

Eva Anderson2026-06-25T05:53:44.000Z
