#SIGBOVIK is at it again: "Factoring up to 255 “with” a Quantum Computer"

"[…] in this paper, I will appear to succeed at factoring by failing with style"

#SIGBOVIK idea: using a 2FA service as a secure RNG (need a random number? try to login somewhere, collect the 6-digit codes they send you, and ... that's it! free numbers!)

@nuintari In the tongue-in-cheek 2025 #SIGBOVIK conference compendium, there's a paper titled "UPPERCASE IS ALL YOU NEED" and is formatted exactly as expected.

This is one of many hilarious papers I'm reading this week, with most poking fun at AI in novel ways.

Body horror in your #SIGBOVIK? It's more likely than you think.

Anyone knows when the #SIGBOVIK proceedings will be out?

I've been waiting anxiously for them since the conference was not streamed this year :(

@highergeometer it doesn't look like there are #sigbovik proceedings yet (http://sigbovik.org)
The Association for Computational Heresy

All good things must come to an end, and #SIGBOVIK 2025 is no exception. For those who missed my recorded presentation, you can watch it back on YouTube:
