Andrew Curran notes OpenAI's 722 published mathematical results show striking under-representation of cryptographic breakthroughs, and he says he has personally witnessed US government censorship of academic quantum cryptanalysis results.

He calls backroom government interventionism his base case and says rumors suggest yesterday's OpenAI math release was only the first of three batches.
