Oh no! I was hoping sha256 would last us until the quantum computing cow came home.

This doesn't _break_ sha256, just opens the door to breaking sha256 with machine learning

You can predict the first bit of sha256 with 100% accuracy with the following pseudocode:

`sha256sum(input) & 0x1`

What's the significance of being able to predict that bit with an ML model instead?
