AI Cracks Napoleon's Encrypted Letter

🔥 What happened A developer used GPT-6 Astra to crack a 127-year-old encrypted letter from Napoleon Bonaparte. The model ran for six hours, employing simulated annealing to break the cipher. 💡 Why it matters The AI started from scratch – only 33 characters had been decoded by humans before. It discovered that some symbols represented whole words, revealing troop locations like 40,000 Bavarian soldiers near Munich. ⚡ Our take If an AI engineer with no crypto background can crack a Napoleon cipher in six hours, it's the beginning of the end for classical encryption. Intelligence agencies should wake up.
