      Yeah, they sent me a "for your eyes only" version . Dude... they're just doubling down. They offered me an exclusive for 8 am, and sent me the release at 6 am, and I was like....

      I googled some of the strings in the output, it looks like a modified version of cado-nfs, e.g. the tasks.threads message comes from here 😆 https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/anonscm/gitweb?p=cado-nfs/cado-nfs.git;a=blob;f=scripts/cadofactor/toplevel.py;hb=6b6df64249cf60eeace0f7611a266d972af74d56#l806 …

      So what the heck is their long game here, or is there one? Is the idea just to raise a bunch of money and then, I don't know, move to the Caymans and give everyone the finger? Or what?

      My take is they're numerologists, who probably believed what they were saying at first (for example, this page from their chief cryptographer seems like delusion, not fraud http://www.tobeornottobe.org/math ), but they're in so deep now they've started to lie. 🤷🏻‍♂️

          Wouldn’t surprise me. I did some contract work for a company early in my career that was doing something similar with “AI” stuff. They were trying to apply it to classification and I gave them working code in an afternoon that outperformed theirs and they got really upset.

          They had an entire backstory with a deceased genius founder, who had almost cracked “real AI” in the aftermath of WW2, but computers weren’t fast enough, etc, and just before computers got fast enough to run his algorithm, he dies, and now they have to complete his life’s work.
