In this news, legendary hacker George Hotz jokingly claims that none of your crypto assets are safe. He links his claim to OpenAI's release of the o3 model, which supposedly has a factoring algorithm capable of compromising the security of cryptographic systems. However, experts believe that this would only be possible with large-scale quantum computing, which is highly unlikely at present. Hotz's warning is seen as a joke by many cryptocurrency enthusiasts, and Blockstream CEO Adam Back considers the claim about the algorithm to be highly dubious. It is suggested that Hotz's joke may be aimed at sensational headlines surrounding AI development.
