V神 has also started paying attention to OpenAI’s breakthroughs in the field of mathematics.

What really started to panic the entire crypto market is not, in fact, “whether AI can crack public-key cryptography.”

It’s a more terrifying question: when exactly will AI be able to crack it? In the past, when we discussed cryptographic security, the default assumption was that the mathematical problems were difficult enough and human computing power would never be sufficient. But AI is changing that premise.

By releasing hundreds of mathematical research results all at once, OpenAI is essentially telling humanity that AI is beginning to move from “using mathematics” toward “discovering new mathematics.” And the security of cryptography itself is built on the foundation that certain mathematical problems are difficult enough.

So the biggest impact of this on the crypto market is not that someone can suddenly steal your Bitcoin or Ethereum today. It’s that, for the first time, the market is seriously realizing that the security of public-key cryptography may not be eternal.

Seeing OpenAI crack 722 math problems feels utterly explosive—and even more so because there are parts that seem to involve “modifying” certain works.

The pressure is truly being placed on public-key cryptography. Perhaps one day, rumors that AI has broken public-key cryptography will suddenly appear and cause real “panic,” and perhaps a genuine breakthrough will follow.

Satoshi’s Bitcoin apparently is in a somewhat insecure “secure state.”

Security in the crypto market has always been built on the “high ground of mathematical security.” In the past, we worried about quantum computing; but now, the mathematical capabilities demonstrated by AI feel far more unsettling than quantum computing ever did.

The entire arc of civilization has been pulled into an era of a technological explosion by those 722 math problems. After solving the mathematical problems, it won’t be long before physics, chemistry, biology, and even the manufacture of some super-materials come next.

AI has been quantifying “intelligence.” To this day, we must accept a reality: an Einstein, stronger than countless Einsteins, is rushing over.

Earlier, a friend went to interview at Musk’s company. Musk interviewed them personally, and they talked about the grand concept of “AI colonizing the universe.” Perhaps this will happen in this century—countless Einsteins are rushing over to trigger a civilization leap—“the road is on the way.”

Intelligence has truly been quantified.
