Sure, you and Claude ‘broke’ SHA2. Sure you did. Without submitting the paper to cryptographic communities immediately. Sure.
Finding collisions to hashes is inevitable:
that is why md5 and sha1 are no longer used.
That it now is time for sha256 to fall… it’ll fall to that specific standard sooner-or-later…
That is why I believe that the only sane thing to do is to use 2+ hashes, together, & check all of them:
It may be a collision same-hash-for-different-file for ONE of them, but to do that, simultaneously, for TWO+ of them??
That’s a whole different deal of difficulty to find a collision for.
MASSIVELY more improbable.

Hacker News needs to do better than allowing this trash to the front page
Heh, I agree with this pixelpoet guy. Just AI slop bullshit not worth a second look.
