It’s almost certain that this would not go whoosh past cryptanalysts. Add to that the way I’ve been psychologically attacked at key points in public outreach about Solomonoff Induction approximation (ycombinator looking for funds and metaculus which was specifically set up in response to intelligence agency failures to predict) – more efficiently and immediately than in other situations (almost like there’s a keyword monitor going on) – and add to that my late colleague Robert Johnson’s immediate reaction to my telling him about the Hutter Prize was to mention possibly still-classified work in cryptography, and I’m really quite concerned the AI world is way behind the intelligence agencies in data efficient model induction – and the intelligence agencies are intent on keeping it that way for obvious reasons.
