Alexander Wissner-GrossComputer scientist and founder of Reified, co-host of Moonshots
Wissner-Gross argues that even post-quantum cryptography is vulnerable, and that AI rather than quantum computing is the real threat.
“It's not quantum that's going to disrupt you. It's AI solving math”

Wissner-Gross argues that crypto will feel the most immediate impact, because the release shows math is no longer hard.
“is crypto, because this has demonstrated that math is no longer hard. Math can be scalably solved”

Salim IsmailFounder of OpenExO and author on exponential organizations, co-host of Moonshots
Ismail counters that blockchain's real value lies in solving the Byzantine generals problem, not in mathematical hardness alone.
“The big challenge, the big opportunity is the fact that we solved the Byzantine generals problem with the distributors ladder approach”
