In this episode of The Brainstorm, Sam, Nick, and Brett open on OpenAI’s release of 722 mathematical proofs and the one subject conspicuously missing from it, cryptography. Brett argues the nearer term threat to crypto is AI rather than quantum computing, and that the danger sits not in the cryptographic primitives but in everything built around them, from self-custody hardware to the exchanges now holding enormous honeypots. He also suggests quantum-safe encryption may be the more vulnerable life raft, and that a scrambled bank ledger could be far more disruptive than stolen coins. Then SpaceX reportedly pays $8 billion for Nextel’s old spectrum and wins Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval for 15,000 direct-to-cell satellites, turning a service that was going to clip a dollar off your phone bill into a bid for the entire bill. Plus why SpaceX collects far more per gigawatt of compute than the neoclouds can.
