X account: It is very funny that ZK proofs, cryptography, and the “dark forest” mindset are about to be in high demand due to the catastrophic successes of the fast takeoff in AI. Also that many of the best security folks from crypto now work in the labs.

Risks and unknowns

• AI Whether the labs announce new security-team expansion or security-incident response plans
• Actual adoption and funding changes for zero-knowledge proofs, cryptography, and AI security tools
• Whether the movement of security talent in the crypto industry is supported by independent statistics or hiring data
• Conditions that could negate the impact assessment for zero-knowledge proofs and cryptographic security: If AI improvements in capabilities do not generate corresponding security demand, or the market does not adopt the related technologies, demand expectations may fail to materialize.
