Or 1949 if you consider the Turing Test, or 1912 if you consider Torres Quevedo's machine El Ajedrecista that plays rook endings. The illusion of AI dates back to 1770's The Turk.

If widely adopted, I fear that in time there will be sufficiently many major incidents that we'll start talking about deammonization as we currently talk about decarbonization.

Monero gains a little privacy by sacrificing scalability. Grin is designed for simplicity, scalability, and fairness, not privacy at all costs. In such a design, the optional CoinSwap protocol for untraceability is a scalability preserving

Grin is lightweight by design, obtaining most of the privacy benefits (hiding amounts and addresses) while staying 4x smaller than bitcoin. The extra transaction step adds robustness, letting the receiver state and sign for the purpose of p

Not all that disappointing considering that most of the performance improvement in M4 seems to come from increased power consumption. In some applications, M4 performs worse per watt than M3.

AI assisted theorem provers will go a bit in that direction. You may not know exactly how they managed to construct a proof, but you can examine that proof in detail and verify its correctness.

Only time will prove you wrong. Breaking secp256k1 requires thousands of logical qubits, in turn requiring millions of physical ones. I really don't expect to see that in the next 10 years.
