If I see the next step correctly, this is good news for principled quantum resistance of well calibrated hash based cryptography.

Physical Superintelligence @psipbc 3d

Today Physical Superintelligence PBC is announcing a proof of the Aaronson-Ambainis conjecture, one of the central open problems in quantum complexity, with major implications for quantum computing speedup.

Weight-Space programming. After a bit of this new psychoanalysis, my Qwen3.5-0.8B is already remembering suppressed memories about a certain square.

Already running an experiment on this. Amazing concept.

We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math.
It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training.

We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵
