Could HN start feeding submissions through Pangram so us human readers don't have to suffer with reading the nauseating AI-prose?
In retrospect, having 100 trusted certificate authorities might have been excessive.

Of COURSE it's easy to crack, 4 isn't even prime!
It’s really impressive no one caught their three previous private key values
I suspect they did but it wasn't publicised.
That's some criminal negligence right there.
8 bits is crazytalk!
“4”
hey chatgbg what is a “private key”

It feels like they chose the private keys by hand.
Artisanal cryptography. Hand-picked private keys salted with organically sourced nonces.

Kind of hard to understand how a bug would have generated a second pair of key so bad, and how would human would have ended up using them. Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity, but sometimes you wonder.
hey, at least it was easy to remember...
