Deep Tide TechFlow news, on January 5, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin published a long article (d/acc: one year later), reviewing the development of the d/acc (decentralized defensive acceleration) concept proposed last year. The article focuses on three key issues: AI safety regulation, the role of cryptocurrency in d/acc, and public goods financing.
For AI safety, Vitalik proposed two major strategies: first, establishing accountability by setting reasonable legal responsibilities for AI users, deployers, and developers; second, implementing a global 'soft pause' mechanism at the industrial hardware level, which could reduce global computing power by 90-99% if necessary.
Regarding cryptocurrency, Vitalik emphasized its three main connections to d/acc: extension of values, early adopter community, and technological complementarity. He particularly mentioned the contributions of the crypto community in areas like prediction markets and zero-knowledge proofs.
On public goods financing, the article introduced innovative mechanisms including quadratic financing, retrospective public goods financing, and deep financing, emphasizing the importance of decentralized financing in promoting the development of open-source projects.
Vitalik believes that despite the challenges posed by rapid technological advancement and reduced global cooperation, new tools such as AI and biotechnology provide humanity with the capability to address these challenges.
