Claims a large language model was pointed at the COLDCARD firmware roughly seven weeks before disclosure with a prompt whose second item was weak RNG source. Bears on the AI-discovery question, with the distinction the page must preserve: naming weak randomness as a category to look for is not the same as identifying this specific defect, and the post is a claim about the poster's own prior work rather than a published finding.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
