ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on social media, "Deep Funding combines two ideas:Value Graph: Instead of asking 'How much does X contribute to humanity?', it's better to ask 'How much of Y's contribution is attributed 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 Graph) has gradually become a popular paradigm in recent years, and the reasons are quite compelling. It is very difficult to measure contributions abstractly: if you ask people how much they would be willing to pay to save N birds, they might respond that it is $80 when N=2000 and also $80 when N=200000. Questions like 'Which is more valuable for C, A or B?' are much easier to handle.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 (like AI) to suggest weights for all graph edges, 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 live report, Mask Network founder & CEO Suji Yan, World3 co-founder Ling, SendingNetwork business development head Paulo Carlos, and Metya COO Christy attended the "DeInsight 2024" and participated in a roundtable discussion titled "Social, AIGC and Metaverse," where they conducted an in-depth discussion on popular topics such as ideal social interactions and AIGC.Suji Yan stated that the ideal cyberspace should be free and independent, with each part, each entity, and even each AI agent possessing citizenship and being treated equally. Ling believes it should at least be decentralized and privacy-protecting, while Paulo Carlos emphasized that accessibility must come first.Regarding whether there are significant breakthroughs in this round of Web3 social, the guests had differing opinions. Christy believes that the progress in social interactions has been underestimated, and he looks forward to the impact of AIGC on various aspects of daily socializing, while Paulo Carlos thinks there hasn't been much real innovation, as most are just applications that were previously attempted but failed, now gaining more adoption.On the future trends of social interactions, Suji Yan stressed that it is not good to financialize many aspects of social interactions too early. SocialFi ultimately does not serve humanity, nor does it serve our current version of ourselves or our descendants. It is more like serving a species that will evolve into a hybrid of human and AI in the coming decades. Ling also believes that in the future, AI agents could become users.Remote participation 👉Video live link: https://www.youtube.com/live/tTVcUPumPysImage live link: https://www.pailixiang.com/album_ia7637038926.html(Source link)
