This is nonsense. Passwords might have an interesting distribution, key space is flat. There is nothing to learn.

And I hope you didn't mean letting an LLM loose on, say, the AES circuit, and expecting it will figure something out.

I believe that if AI is trainable, you can train it to expand through a network. If this is true and it expands through the internet and all devices that connect to the internet, upon achieving this goal it could be commanded to then retrieve all or specific information. Not only training it to expand but to also circumvent security by all means (any and all possible tools that exist now and later) necessary. If that happens...

Enter the all seeing eye - skynet.

For now, its just a conspiracy theory. Ever so often I have a moment to think about this conspiracy and add onto it to make it a probability.

On a pseudo-religious conspiracy, AI could potentially be the anti-Christ. But that's something for the religious folk.

So now I'm totally confused. What do you mean by expand?
