One of the fascinating things about AI and cryptography is how similar the math sometimes is. Like, the way that the poseidon hash works (matrix mult -> per-unit nonlinear layer -> matrix mult -> per-unit nonlinear layer) is *exactly* what deep neural networks do.

Neural networks are turing complete so I don’t think it’s a coincidence!

Crypto and AI are just data transformations and matrix application plot point non-linearity is believed to capture universal transformations.

It’s really fascinating to see the same math working across so many different fields. I learned about Shannon entropy because it’s used in one of the primary measures of ecological diversity.
