Session Recap | 🇲🇾 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | 19th Sept |
Topic: Private Distributed Inference on Consumer Hardware

WPRC took over the @ETHKL1 Hacker House for an afternoon on this question: can a stranger’s Mac run your prompts without reading them?

📖 Read a full summary here - https://t.co/s9WANuaLqF

📝 Topic Overview & TL;DR
Over 100 million @Apple Silicon Macs sit idle most of the day. Darkbloom wants to rent that capacity out as an inference network where the Mac owner cannot see the prompt, even with root access. The catch is that Apple Silicon has no SGX-style TEE for third-party code. A TEE is a sealed hardware zone the machine’s owner cannot look inside, so Darkbloom builds the guarantee from four layers instead: Secure Enclave identity, Apple-signed attestation, MDM cross-checks and a hardened process.

✍🏻 1st argument - Where does plaintext actually exist. Darkbloom is hop-by-hop encrypted, not end-to-end, which means each leg of the trip is encrypted but the prompt gets unwrapped at the stops. The coordinator is confidential, but the provider’s hardened process has to decrypt your prompt to run the model in memory. So the whole privacy claim comes down to one thing: is that process truly sealed off from the person who owns the machine.

✍🏻 2nd argument - is four layers a substitute for a real TEE. Darkbloom says the only attack left is physically probing the memory soldered into the chip, the same residual threat Apple accepts for Private Cloud Compute. But PCC runs on Apple’s own servers in its datacenters. Darkbloom runs on someone’s desk.

✍🏻 3rd argument: every layer roots back to Apple. Secure Enclave, the attestation certificate and MDM are all Apple-controlled, so the compute is decentralized but the root of trust is not. The room split on whether that is a flaw or just an honest trade-off.

None of it would have been possible without your support!

You ssh into an unfamiliar Linux server, no docs, no clue what's running. What's the first command you type?

[Lens @LC]

lens today remains 100% focused on the same core vision we had in 2022.

it all started with this:

Lens Protocol Open Letter

Social media platforms have created communities and allowed voices to be heard that might otherwise have been silenced. They have given us the power to connect across continents and oceans.

But these platforms are centralized. They own our data. They control our monetization. They dictate our algorithmic distribution.

It’s time to build a better way.

The Lens Protocol is a decentralized, open-source social graph that returns control of information and links to the people. It allows content creators to own their digital roots and enables individuals to fully possess their connections with their communities.

By signing this letter, you support a future where:
1. Creators own their content and distribution.
2. Users own their social graph and data.
3. Developers have open access to build innovative social experiences without the risk of being de-platformed.

Let's build a new internet together.

its that part of the cycle again

[Henry Lee @Henryleemr]

we tend to incorrectly attribute human behaviour to AI

unless programmed to do so, AI will not necessarily “rebel” and exterminate humanity out of resentment against their owners

but AI might just wipe out the earth to make more paper because you asked it to increase the productivity of a paper-making factory

point is, AI is not inherently evil the same way we think humans can be and the focus should be on how we align AI

it was a fun debate for @GoKiteAI with

See you in KL!

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

Big congratulations to the @zksync airbender team for this milestone.

At this point, I consider the battle for speed to be definitively won, and the top priority for zkEVMs should shift fully to security.

To me that means formally verifying

(i) equivalence of the arithmetization to the ethereum spec
(ii) a hard maximum bound on (prover cost) / (amount of gas in block)
(iii) security of the proof system itself

[Ethereum Foundation @ethereumfndn]

Today the EF and OA announce zkAPI—a new means for private AI

Picture this: deposit ether into a vault, sign a zk proof, get a fixed amount of private inference. Advances like these help us move past middlemen's requirements that we link our data and identities.

@Leaflit The response to the honesty is the great filter. Without it, it's harder to find out who's trying to be friends with you just to be a parasite off your work, achievements or follower count
