Claude’s Cycles

Don Knuth, Stanford Computer Science Department

(28 February 2026; revised 02 March 2026)

Shock! Shock! I learned yesterday that an open problem I’d been working on for several weeks had just been solved by Claude Opus 4.6 — Anthropic’s hybrid reasoning model that had been released three weeks earlier! It seems that I’ll have to revise my opinions about “generative AI” one of these days. What a joy it is to learn not only that my conjecture has a nice solution but also to celebrate this dramatic advance in automatic deduction and creative problem solving. I’ll try to tell the story briefly in this note.

My second article in Paged Out! #8 was about the architecture of the terminal emulator on Linux - it's a really obvious thing until you start digging into details, as usual (link to article/issue is in reply).

Starkiller Phishing Suite Uses AitM Reverse Proxy to Bypass Multi-Factor Authentication Starkiller phishing suite uses live reverse proxying to bypass MFA, while attackers abuse OAuth device codes to hijack Microsoft 365 accounts.

“Recipients are served genuine page content directly through the attacker's [infra], ensuring the phishing page is never out of date. And because Starkiller proxies the real site live, there are no template files for security vendors to fingerprint or blocklist."

Quantum Decryption of RSA Is Much Closer Than Expected The JVG algorithm factors RSA and ECC keys using fewer quantum resources than Shor’s algorithm, accelerating the time needed to break today’s public-key cryptography.

“‘The JVG algorithm requires thousand-fold less quantum computer resources, such as qubits and quantum gates. Research extrapolations suggest it will require less than 5,000 qubits to break encryption methods used in RSA and ECC.’”

Exclusive: Researchers trick a bot that prescribes meds The state of Utah is running a pilot with Doctronic's AI system to refill some prescriptions.

The jailbreak was done on the company’s public bot, not the one inside the state system, but researchers “were able to make the bot spread vaccine conspiracy theories, triple a patient's prescribed pain medication dosage, and recommend methamphetamine as treatment.”

I was asked to check this, the journal uses a Rail Fence Cipher, so you read each line up and down, left to right. The deciphered text in the article below is accurate, and names names. The file itself can be found here:

This is huge news. I have spent the past 6 months wondering wtf was up with Amazon: they filed 380,000 AI-related CyberTipline reports to NCMEC in the first half of 2025.

Turns out ALL of it was known CSAM they found by screening their AI training data. It's NOT AI-generated or AI-morphed CSAM.

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd.
