Had a wild and fun time emceeing the fourth d/acc day, at the iconic ArtScience Musuem in Singapore. It's nice to talk about hardware and deep nerd stuff with people that care deeply about building the future we want to see.
Learnings & Annnouncements
* Vitalik announces a longterm focus on open and verifiable hardware
* he soft-launched a big new effort called Vensa, funding such efforts (Vensa = Vitalik Mensa?? makes sense)
* the trustless tee project I'm working on with @0xQuintus@tzhen makes an appearance
* AI models trained only on Western, English data, lead to cultural erosion because their responses nudge people away from their natural cultural behavior
* ZK, FHE, MPC are _actually_ deployed in a small open source air quality monitor by M Pang. An all-in-one real world use case!
* defensive tech is not just about fancy, frontier tech tools. sometimes, the way you culture your soil and farm your land is also d/acc tech
* Singapore has been ~d/acc since Day One, in 1965 when we split from Malaysia. We are good at defensive and accelerative tech, but not so good at decentralization
