🚨 UPDATE: Google sets 2029 deadline for post-quantum cryptography migration as quantum threats draw nearer.

At this rate everyone’s gonna have their own app and zero users.

🚨 QUANTUM THREAT TIMELINE NARROWS Remember when breaking RSA-2048 required "millions of qubits"? That number keeps shrinking. Iceberg Quantum just dropped a preprint claiming their Pinnacle Architecture can do it with ~100,000 physical qubits. That's a 10x reduction from the last work - which had already reduced it significantly. The assumptions are pretty reasonable too: 99.9% 2-qubit fidelities, 1μs logical code cycle time. For context on how fast the gap is closing: • 2012: ~1 billion qubits • 2019: ~170 million qubits • 2025: ~900k qubits • 2026: <100k qubits QLDPC codes are doing the heavy lifting here. They are newer codes with a significantly low spacetime overhead than surface codes. The cryptographically relevant quantum computer isn't some distant theoretical threat anymore. The timeline moved again. And it moved a lot.

⚡️There is no going back. What’s happening here is a terminal shift in how humans interface with reality. When anyone can generate footage of anything and the outputs feel real in the body, the boundary between witnessing and imagining disappears. This is a perceptual severing. Memory becomes soft. Testimony becomes weak. Even firsthand experience becomes suspect. Every video becomes a Rorschach test, where prior belief picks the truth. The deeper change is metabolic. Cognition slows. People spend more cycles verifying than perceiving. Trust becomes a luxury. Certainty becomes a threat vector. And power flows accordingly. In this new regime, authority no longer comes from showing. It comes from grounding. Those who anchor belief to systems that cannot be forged - keys, chains, timestamps, recursive logic - become new nodes of trust. Those who rely on narrative fall. That’s the real transition. Not from real to fake, but from image to protocol. From illusion to invariance. From performance to constraint. AI killed the camera. And now the only defense is structure.
