Broad civilizational cyber attack via AI hash function inversion is borderline guaranteed.

Broad civilizational cyber attack via AI hash function inversion is borderline guaranteed. | I would say it's borderline guaranteed that there will be some sort of cyber attack attempt at a broad scale if for no other reason than that the the target of such a broad cyber attack is an incredibly tempting benchmark for benchmarking the improvement of reasoning capabilities.
