Vitalik: The combination of AI and blockchain technology is challenging but worth looking forward to
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik published a blog post exploring the prospects and challenges of combining encryption with artificial intelligence. Vitalik stated that allowing individual players to become artificial intelligence, while keeping the underlying mechanisms of blockchain unchanged, would be the most promising and easiest-to-implement use case, enabling the mechanism to operate effectively on a more microscopic scale. In addition, the most challenging aspect currently is attempting to use blockchain and encryption technologies to create "singleton" applications: decentralized and trustworthy artificial intelligence that certain applications rely on for a specific purpose. These applications have the potential to improve functionality and enhance the security of artificial intelligence, while avoiding the centralized risks associated with more mainstream approaches to solving this problem. However, the underlying assumptions may also fail in many ways.
Vitalik: Becoming Validium is the right choice for most blockchain apps. A good distributed DA guarantee system can improve its security.
On January 16th, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed agreement with Taiko CEO Daniel Wang's opinion that "using other data chains' Rollup can be considered as Ethereum's Validium" on his social platform. At the same time, Vitalik pointed out that the core of Rollup is unconditional security. If DA depends on systems outside of Ethereum, this cannot be achieved. However, becoming Validium is a more appropriate choice for many blockchain applications, and using well-distributed DAs to ensure that the system can improve the actual security of Validium is a good method. Validium is an Ethereum Layer 2 scalability solution, which can be understood as a ZKRollup that does not use ETH as the DA layer.
Vitalik Buterin reveals Ethereum game plan for 2024
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin declares that the role of single slot finality (SSF) is the most straightforward approach to tackling the majority of shortcomings on the Ethereum Proof-of-Stake (PoS) design.
Make Ethereum Cypherpunk Again
One of my favorite memories from ten years ago was taking a pilgrimage to a part of Berlin that was called the Bitcoin Kiez: a region in Kreuzberg where there were around a dozen shops within a few hundred meters of each other that were all accepting Bitcoin for payments. The centerpiece of this community was Room 77, a restaurant and bar run by Joerg Platzer. In addition to simply accepting Bitcoin, it also served as a community center, and all kinds of open source developers, political activists of various affiliations, and other characters would frequently come by.
Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin Claims Original Web3 Vision Lost
Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, has expressed his concern that the original vision of Web3 has been lost in the current culture of the crypto industry. In a recent blog post, Buterin highlighted the importance of a community where all parts work together, which was the initial goal of Web3. However, he believes that this vision has not been preserved and blames transaction fees as the number one culprit. Despite this, Buterin remains optimistic about the Ethereum network and believes that a change needs to come to the crypto and blockchain scene.

Buterin Cards, the Buterin-themed NFT series, briefly became the largest consumer of Gas.
NFT series Buterin Cards, with Vitalik Buterin as the theme, caused a brief surge in Gwei and became the largest gas consumer. According to data from the Ethereum blockchain browser Etherscan, as of 4:00 am Beijing time, Buterin Cards had consumed 13.1% of the total gas units within three hours, higher than the Uniswap common router address and Tether's public address. In the past 24 hours, the transaction fee of this series has reached 318.31 ETH, worth 665,670 US dollars.
Vitalik Buterin's New Philosophy of Techno-Optimism: d/acc
Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin has introduced a new philosophy called d/acc, which promotes a balanced approach to technological development. The philosophy emphasizes defense, decentralization, and human flourishing. Buterin's philosophy is a counterbalance to the unrestricted techno-optimism of figures like Marc Andreessen. Buterin acknowledges that progress is not always linear and calls for more collaboration in technological development. While both Buterin and Andreessen recognize the benefits of technology, their philosophies are incomplete and open to debate.
Ethereum Creator Vitalik Buterin Expresses Concerns Over AI's Existential Risk
Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, has expressed his concerns about the potential existential threat posed by artificial intelligence (AI). He cited a survey by AI Impacts, which found that between 5% and 10% of respondents believed that AI could lead to human extinction. Buterin suggested that an open-source movement focused on security would be better suited to lead AI development than closed, proprietary corporations and venture capital funds. He also emphasized the importance of human intention in guiding the direction and outcome of AI development, and warned against giving "extreme and opaque power" to a small group of people. Additionally, Buterin believes that a world that prioritizes defense would be safer and less conflict-prone, and would allow for healthier and more freedom-respecting forms of governance to thrive. He urged society to regularly question the direction of their progress, as the 21st century could be a pivotal century for humanity with the potential to determine its fate for millennia.
