Deep Tide TechFlow news, on January 5, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin published a lengthy 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 cryptocurrencies in d/acc, and public goods financing.
Regarding AI safety, Vitalik proposed two major strategies: first, to establish accountability by setting reasonable legal responsibilities for AI users, deployers, and developers; second, to implement a global 'soft pause' mechanism at the industrial-grade hardware level, which can reduce global computing power by 90-99% if necessary.
In terms of cryptocurrencies, Vitalik emphasized three main connections to d/acc: the extension of values, the early adopter community, and technological complementarity. He specifically mentioned the contributions of the crypto community in areas such as prediction markets and zero-knowledge proofs.
On public goods financing, the article introduced innovative mechanisms including quadratic financing, retroactive public goods funding, and deep financing, highlighting the importance of decentralized financing in promoting the development of open-source projects.
Vitalik believes that despite the current challenges of rapid technological development and reduced global cooperation, new tools such as AI and biotechnology provide humanity with the capability to address these challenges.
