Man, I miss this show - truly ahead of his time.
Didn't know the line "it's a feature not a bug" would be this scary
Given the rumors out of open AI, this aged rather well.
The finale was a masterpiece.
The last sentence is perfect.
For those who this goes over your head, its basically A^x = B being easy to make, just input X and A and calculate B, but figuring out what A and X are by knowing only B take more computation. Its kinda the same as Prime1 * Prime2 = X Its easy to choose prime1 and prime 2 and calculate X, but takes more computation to do it the other way around by solving Prime1 and Prime2 from X. Math that is easy one way and difficult in the other is the basis of modern encryption.
Gilfoyle is really the best.
P=NP..No more cryptography.
If that AI could crack encryption, it would be just a matter of time before another AI to crack it too. They just postpone the apocalypse.
Just like the real world, some people exclaim "oh fuck" while most people just stare at you and ask "Why did you say that"
This is exceptional in every way. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and it was exceptional in every way. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight
Whats interesting is Gilfoyle was totally wrong. Its implied in the epilogue some members of the team used their AI and profited from it.
I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords.

I think this problem is generally exaggerated though (hence this unrealistic, fictional representation of an inherently unsolvable problem of cracking 256 bit encryption). Will AI's inner alignment reflect biases in the data used to train it? Yes. Is AI the genie from tales of old that intentionally misinterprets instructions and gives a result with an undesired process? No.
I genuinely believe we have ten years a the most, probably fewer until it whipes us all out.
Damn the writing on this show is so tight.
So funny to see this again after what just happened at OpenAI.
