With the kind of compute power available nowadays and AI models I wouldn't be surprised we see it much sooner. All it takes is just one collision to consider it broken right? But hey maybe the attempt to fix it makes git controversial enough it falls out of favor, and nobody uses it anymore in 2 years, problem solved? sure. | ||

No, its considered broken before that stage. i.e. when someone discovers an attack that would allow someone to create a collision faster than they should while still being impractical. > With the kind of compute power available nowadays and AI models I wouldn't be surprised we see it much sooner. Computer power doesn't super matter, what matters is algorithmic breakthroughs. So far i dont think there are any examples of major breakthroughs of that type via AI, although perhaps i am just misinformed. Its still early in the AI revolution, it might still happen, but as it stands i don't think there is any reason to worry about that. | ||
