Vitalik's latest long article discusses the new perspective on d/acc, followAI, and the role of Crypto

Odaily Planet Daily News Vitalik Buterin has recently published a lengthy article, 'd/acc: one year later', offering new perspectives on the d/acc (decentralized acceleration) concept proposed last year. The article focuses on exploring the core ideas of d/acc (Decentralization, differentiated defense acceleration of democracy), covering principles, AI security supervision, the role of Crypto Assets in d/acc, and public product financing. Vitalik proposes two strategies for AI security: one is to establish accountability, with the main targets including users (those who use AI), deployers (intermediaries that provide AI services to users), and developers (those who build AI); The second is to set up a global "soft pause" mechanism at the industrial-grade hardware level, which can reduce the world's available computing capacity by about 90-99% for 1-2 years during the critical period, so as to buy more time for mankind. He added that liability rules are a natural D/ACC-friendly way of regulation. The article also points out that there are some important connections between Cryptocurrency and , specifically: -d/acc is the extension of the underlying values of Cryptocurrency (Decentralization, Resistance to Censorship, Open Global Economy and Society) to other technological fields; -As encryption users are natural early adopters and share the same values, the encryption community is a natural early user of d/acc technology;

• Many encryption technologies are available in the d/acc field: blockchain for building more powerful and decentralized financial, governance, and social media infrastructure; zero-knowledge proofs for privacy protection, etc.
• There are also win-win opportunities in encryption-related technologies, which are very useful for encryption projects, but also key to achieving the goal of d/acc: formal verification, computer software and hardware security, and adversarial governance technology; -In addition to these direct intersections, there is another important common point of interest: funding mechanism. The article also mentions innovative mechanisms including quadratic financing, retrospective public goods financing, and deep financing, emphasizing the importance of Decentralization financing for the d/acc vision. It believes that significant challenges will be faced in the coming decades and has been recently contemplating the following two challenges:
• The powerful new wave of technology, especially strong artificial intelligence, is emerging rapidly, and these technologies come with important pitfalls that we need to avoid. 'Artificial Superintelligence' may take five years to achieve, or it may take fifty years. In any case, it is not yet clear whether the default result is always positive, because there are multiple pitfalls to avoid; -The world is becoming increasingly lacking in cooperation. Many powerful actors in the past seemed to act at least sometimes according to noble principles (worldliness, freedom, common humanity, etc.), but now they are more openly and actively pursuing personal or tribal interests. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the face of these challenges. First, we now have very powerful tools to complete the remaining work more quickly, including:

Currently and in the near future, artificial intelligence can be used to build other technologies and can be used as part of governance (such as deep financing or information finance). It is also very relevant to BCI, which can further enhance productivity. Now it is possible to conduct large-scale coordination on a larger scale than before. The Internet and social media have expanded the scope of coordination, global finance (including Crypto Assets) has enhanced its power, and now information defense and collaboration tools can improve its quality, perhaps soon the depth of human-machine-to-human form BCI can be increased. Formal verification, sandboxes (web browsers, Docker, Qubes, GrapheneOS, etc.), secure hardware modules, and other technologies are constantly improving, making better network security possible, etc. Secondly, since many of the principles we value are no longer dominated by a few specific conservatives, they can be reclaimed by a broad alliance that anyone in the world can join. Cryptocurrency has made good use of this and gained global appeal; d/acc can also do this.
