alt Hacker News> if AI frontier labs do find that P=NP via an efficient algorithm, it could have implications on all modern public key based cryptography.
The fact that other math problems are bulk solved yet nothing from cryptography was released/published as solved could be a strong indicator that "all modern public key based cryptography" could have been at risk.
Or it could indicate that more resources have been put into cryptography than most other math fields, so AI hasn't yet caught up to our progress.
