He also adds this, to which I agree: 'Also noteworthy is the striking under-representation of cryptographic breakthroughs among the 722 mathematical results OpenAI published. I've witnessed first-hand the US government censoring academic quantum cryptanalysis results. Backroom interventionism is my base case.' Things are probably further along than it seems. This is true in many areas right now. There are also persistent rumors that the OpenAI math release yesterday was only the first batch of three.
