OpenAI has released 722 mathematical manuscripts covering 372 result families, reporting advances across roughly 4,000 longstanding problems. Computer scientist Scott Aaronson has termed the wave of breakthroughs a 'Mathocalypse.' The post warns that AI could eventually help discover algorithms capable of breaking public-key cryptography, which protects online banking, private messages, and cryptocurrency. Ethereum researcher Justin Drake has urged the blockchain industry to prepare for 'bunker mode.' While AI has not yet broken modern encryption, the post suggests that if mathematical discoveries accelerate, the race to secure the internet could become much more urgent.
