The Impact of AI and Quantum Computing on Blockchain Security

Expert audits seem kinda pointless now. Remember when we thought audits meant a project was trustworthy? But now, AI is sniffing out vulnerabilities in Blockchains instead of Quantum Computers. It's wild... AI can actually hack Blockchains. Crazy how we ended up here. Zcash has had a flaw for 4 years, and it's still there.

Could've been worse, right? At least AI is helping find bugs instead of just stealing funds. It’s nice to see devs using AI for good, improving security instead of just causing chaos.

Yeah, I gotta agree with that. The panic over Quantum computing is getting out of hand. It’s like a fear fest here. Just do some research, people. No apocalypse is coming yet.

Humans are always the problem. AI is a tool, and it’s all about how we choose to use it. Some devs are using AI for good, but the bad guys are figuring it out too. It’s a race, honestly.

Not sure you get how this works. AI can analyze and find weaknesses, and it’s not just Blockchains. It’s happening in other secure systems too. But remember, AI still relies on existing computer systems. Quantum computing could change the game, no doubt.

Auditors have limited resources and time. They can't guarantee projects are vulnerability-free. Even top-tier projects can have hidden bugs. AI speeds up analysis and checks tons of code way faster than humans. It’s not hacking; it’s just assisting.

If there are vulnerabilities, someone’s gonna find a way to exploit them. Talented people will use any tools, including AI. But saying AI can hack Blockchains is a stretch. Quantum computers? Still a non-issue for now.

We might not be so lucky next time. With AI becoming so advanced, it feels like anyone can be an expert. The US banned some AI models saying they were too powerful. China will catch up and it could get messy.

Why aren’t dev teams using these AI models on their own code? Just asking... Google claimed they need under 500k qubits to break ECC, and that’s a lot closer than before. Not many chains are switching to post-quantum cryptography yet, even with NIST's new standards.
