An important advantage that network cloud can provide to onchain services is better "AI Safety". Here's how.

When AI makes cryptography unsafe, networks can be rapidly upgraded, protecting all hosted software.

With traditional tech stacks, algos are linked into the various layers and components, making upgrading difficult and laborious for those operating services.

Networks, like the Internet Computer/ICP, can abstract the core security math that keeps hosted services safe.

They can also upgrade peripheral (non-core) cryptography.

For example, on a dime, the Internet Computer could could upgrade to a new version of HTTPS in response to AI suddenly making the current version unsafe, without those running services having to do anything.

By contrast, on traditional tech stacks, (or "on" traditional blockchains, where the apps are actually served from traditional tech, such as from AWS, with only tokens a DeFi logic onchain), those running services would need to manually upgrade all their web servers and application servers.

Where the software powering a service makes HTTPS outcalls to other services, it will be directly linked to libraries enabling the calls — so it will all need to be upgraded too!

By contrast, the Internet Computer hosts serverless code, where these kinds of complexities are abstracted away from services. If a service makes an HTTP outcall to another service, the call uses whatever version of HTTPS the network chooses (since the network makes the actual call on behalf of the software). If the network is upgraded, then so is every service — automatically.

This further reflects the way that the Internet Computer as cloud dramatically reduces security admin and systems admin demands compared with building on traditional tech, and additional unique advantages.

It also highlights another crucial axis on which networks must be measured, whether they seek quantum safety (when relevant) or AI safety (since today, AI can now find flaws in algorithms and software at any time) — agility.

That is, how fast can a blockchain network be upgraded in response to a new threat?

The Internet Computer is unique in that it is orchestrated by a decentralized governance system called the Network Nervous System (something like a DAO with system privileges, but much more sophisticated).

That enables the network to be agile, and to rapidly respond to emerging threats, by upgrading the code running on the node machines hosting it. The Internet Computer is a self-updating, adaptive network.

The ability of chains to rapidly react to new threats that have been suddenly uncovered/created by AI, whether they are flaws in cryptography algorithms, or flaws in software libraries, will be a defining feature as things get more hairy.

This is a conundrum for traditional chains chasing quantum safety, of course. By definition, they are claiming that upgrading networks is a long and arduous process, and therefore that they have achieved something important and valuable by upgrading to quantum-safe algorithms ahead of time.

But the algorithms they are upgrading to — so they can claim "quantum safety" — are new and do not benefit from the decades of examination that e.g. ECDSA has.

What then, if AI finds suddenly problems with them, like it did with HAWK?

They have tacitly declared that they cannot quickly switch back, because transitioning is something that takes time, which is why their upgrades are such an achievement...

I will press the point no further, but as an industry, we need to get much more nuanced and sophisticated in how we understand security in an age where AI can suddenly upset security assumptions and make software insecure.

The Internet Computer has got this crucial agility axis covered, and it's agility, not the premature adoption of new and unproven quantum safe crypto algorithms, that really defines safety.

The key point is, if a network has to adopt these unproven algorithms years before a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer exists, then it's doing something very wrong.

The Internet Computer has solved agility. It provides an end-to-end alternative to traditional tech, where people can build services, and gain safety and independence from the rapidly shifting sands of security that the AI era will bring.

It is another reason that the mainstream world needs Internet Computer cloud. It's a security and resilience haven.

Full Mario 64 in Mixed Reality! Running in real 3D (no stereoscopic crap) natively at 90FPS and also running on my desk! 😋
Again, Opus 5.5 + PICO CLI combo made it quite straightforward.

Such a bliss to play an oldie at 90 FPS in 3D.

🔴 DUBAI AI FESTIVAL WRAP UP | ICP

Dfinity featured in the "official publication" for the event, and other significant takeaways

(This turns into a semi unhinged rant just fyi)

[BSCN Decoded @BSCNdecoded]

Dominic Williams named DFINITY, short for decentralized infinity, in 2015 and founded the DFINITY Foundation (@dfinity) in 2016.

On the Internet Computer, developers pay for computation by converting $ICP into cycles.

[ALLINCRYPTO @RealAllinCrypto]

🚨HUGE FOR $ICP: DFINITY is in HIGH-LEVEL talks with Pakistan's Digital Authority to build a sovereign AI Factory for government technology!

Internet Computer and @dfinity founder Dominic Williams met with senior officials to discuss developing AI-powered government applications and national digital infrastructure.

This follows their earlier MoU, with Pakistan's sovereign cloud model also gaining UNDP recognition!

From AI to government infrastructure, ICP is positioning itself for adoption on a NATIONAL scale!

Let’s say you hate $ICP, probably mostly because you hold some other coin and this is just how things shake out in the crypto world, hate the game not the player etc.

Now imagine ICP goes on a tear. Cope and seethe? No. It is probably good for your coin.

I know many people think BTC is some kind of old ”dinosaur coin” and it would be better for their coin if BTC died (”every time we pump, BTC takes a dump and we go down with it!”). These people are wrong. Almost all of crypto owes it market cap to BTC. If not for the legitimacy, and working use case, that BTC afforded the rest of crypto, your bags would be worth zero.

All of crypto rides the coattails of the serious bluechips. So far that has been BTC, maaaybe ETH, not really SOL. The total crypto market cap is constrained by this.

So when a new serious addition to the crypto landscape comes along, like ICP, that’s good for everybody. It helps create room for all to grow. Better yet, ICP is an integrator chain, that can directly boost the reach of your chain.

ICP brings fully on-chain apps that integrate with the smart contracts and tokens on your chain - enhancing your offer and improving both capability and credibility for your solutions.

Is your frontend on-chain? Why not? That’s sloppy! Just put it on-chain with ICP today! Same for any business process you run off-chain, move it to ICP so your product becomes 100% on-chain! The reasons for why you wanted to move the core of your app on-chain - transparency, unstoppability, tamper resistance, etc - apply to the rest of your app as well!

Success for ICP means success for all of crypto.

Firstly, there were two patents on the algorithm they took, one was issued *beginning* of this year. We want license fees at the least. Sorry to those that liked my previous post, I reworded this to be more precise. If they knew about the patent applications, then license fees could be recoverable from the beginning of their use of the proprietary tech (~2+ years) not from earlier this year.

There are some things that point in that direction in my view, e.g. 1) GitHub posts like this, note what's in the quotes, which I read like pre-emptive non-infringement positioning https://t.co/k990mcuHaN (the algo of course re-uses the invention with a minor tweak that make it less secure), and 2) they had hired a senior DFINITY engineering manager in April 2022, who I feel would have known full well about DFINITY efforts to patent major works. We need that Google doc referenced by that GitHub pull request; NEAR if you're reading this, deleting evidence won't be helpful, maybe you'd like to voluntarily share this.

Secondly, it looks to us like their Confidential Key Derivation is basically derived from the vetKeys paper, and maybe they looked at our Rust implementation too. That wasn't patented, but completely wrong to go around passing off hard and substantial work by very serious cryptographers as your own, and also completely ridiculous. I'm sure Ilia is a more serious guy than that. We are not anti-NEAR, but this is obviously too much and has to be addressed. Note as well that passing off a competitor's academic work as your own to gain an advantage also transgresses various other laws around the world. But anyway, if this is what has happened, I'm sure Ilia, as a supporter of open source, will want proper credits and references to be added, and for their CKD article to explain where the math came from.

We're busy but will be contacting them, first to try and resolve this amicably. Meanwhile, they also need to think hard about who they choose as friends. Some of the people that came after us for them are absolutely freaky and the worst web3 has to offer. Notably, we've heard no denial, nor apology.
