ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on social media, "Deep Funding combines two ideas:Value Spectrum: Instead of asking 'How much does X contribute to humanity?', it is better to ask 'How much of Y's contribution is attributable to X?'Refining Human Judgment: An open AI market provides all weight allocation suggestions, which are then verified by a randomly sampled human jury.The first idea (Value Spectrum) has gradually become a popular paradigm in recent years, and the reasons are quite compelling. It is very difficult to abstractly measure contributions: if you ask people how much they would be willing to pay to save N birds, they would answer $80 when N=2000 and also $80 when N=200000. Questions like 'Which is more valuable for C, A or B?' are easier to handle as they are more 'localized'.The second idea (Refining Human Judgment) is based on some thoughts from my info finance article: the condensation of human judgment in information finance. Anyone can use any method (such as AI) to suggest weights for all edges of the spectrum, and a human jury conducts a detailed analysis of randomly sampled edges. Ultimately, the submission that is most compatible with the jury's answers determines the final output."

ChainCatcher News, the Ministry of State Security of China stated today that national security agencies have discovered that some foreign mapping companies are enticing domestic individuals to purchase and use specialized equipment for "checking in" on maps in exchange for virtual currency rewards. This practice illegally collects sensitive geospatial information and uploads it in real-time to overseas servers, even offering high rewards for specific areas to attract "collectors" for targeted data gathering. Some domestic individuals, lacking awareness of national security, are tempted by the prospect of earning money through map check-ins and unknowingly become accomplices for these malicious foreign companies in illegally collecting and stealing geospatial data.National security agencies, in conjunction with relevant functional departments, will investigate and deal with domestic and foreign individuals and companies that collect and steal sensitive geospatial information data from China. They will promptly block the illegal outflow of related data and eliminate the risks of data leakage.
