Lots of judgment calls involved in this, which I will resolve in good faith. (And I won’t bet on this.)

Excepting the quantum aspect, this seems impossibly subjective.
What counts as “broken”? We have a 2^119 attack already! If a researcher crafts a “mere” 2^110 attack (~500x stronger than status quo), would that qualify?
What counts as “assisted”? If that researcher admits to mainly incidental use of LLM-based chatbots during their research, would that qualify?
