Hoskinson Accuses Buterin of 'Bag-Holding' Over AI Cryptography Warning
- —Buterin warned on October 8 that AI could break lattice-based cryptography and urged 10x larger key sizes
- —Hoskinson said lattices have withstood 40 years of attacks and called the 10x rule 'numerology'
- —Hoskinson noted MD5 and SHA-1 were broken, and Ethereum's Poseidon hash had a bounty to attack it
- —Neither founder cited an actual AI-found cryptographic break
Why it matters: The dispute highlights an industry split over post-quantum and AI-resistant cryptography standards, affecting network security choices.
