Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin once praised Ethereum domain name service ENS as the most successful non-financial application in Ethereum. Now, according to data on the link, he suddenly cast a new ENS domain name dacc.eth at 12 noon today and previewedThe concept of d/acc will be discussed on August 22 in X’s audio space.
Unexpectedly, according to DEX Screener data, the meme coin E/ACC of the same name surged, soaring more than 7 times in 15 minutes after the above news, bringing its market value to US$5 million, but it is currently at a high point.It fell by more than 63%, and its market value fell back to $1.91 million.
d/acc is a new concept proposed by Vitalik Buterin in November last year. The meme coin of the same name d/acc was later born. However, in December last year, it was reported that the project party had given up its operations and the currency price was approaching.Zero, although it soared due to Vitalik today, the official website has disappeared.
What is d/acc?
In this article, Vitalik Buterin explored his approach to technology optimism, AI risks and how to avoid centralization in the environment of today’s world.
Vitalik Buterin believes that although technological progress has its risks, its benefits are far greater than the harm it may bring. People should not just pursue profits blindly, but should consciously choose the direction of technological development to ensure that technological progress can lead to human beings.Come to a better future.
In response to how to resolve the contradiction between technological development and centralization, Vitalik Buterin proposed the defensive accelerationism “d/acc”, which has a significant difference in attitudes towards technological development between the effective accelerationism “e/acc” popular in Silicon Valley:
-
e/acc: The term was widely circulated in the Silicon Valley new venture circle after its birth by ChatGPT, a view that emphasizes the huge benefits of technological advancement and aspires to accelerate this trend to bring these benefits faster, e/acc supporters usuallyDissatisfied with the conservative attitude of existing regulators such as the FDA on drug and new technology reviews, believing that this delayed the introduction of life-saving treatments.
-
d/acc: Emphasize defense, decentralization, democracy and differentiation, seeking to create and maintain a more democratic world, and trying to avoid centralization as the preferred method of solving problems.d/acc advocates detailed risk management plans, but aims to avoid excessive concentration of power.
Vitalik Buterin advocates the establishment of a “defense-first” worldview, believing that a defensive-oriented world is a better world because it not only directly improves security and reduces conflicts, but also makes healthy, open and respectful forms of governance easier.With vigorous development, he made the following extensions to the meaning represented by “d” in his article:
『D』 can be defense, decentralization, democracy, and differential.”
What are the differences in the two’s views on AI threatening humans?
d/acc is cautious about potential threats to AI and believes that concentration of power may lead to abuse of AI. Therefore, it emphasizes decentralization and diversified participation, allowing more people to monitor and influence the development of AI.d/acc believes that through decentralized technology and an open and transparent decision-making process, AI can be reduced by the risk of being controlled by a few people and used to endanger humans.
e/acc is optimistic about the potential threats to AI, believing that AI development is an inevitable trend. As long as development is accelerated, super intelligence can be realized as soon as possible and various challenges faced by human beings.e/acc pays less attention to the risks that AI may bring and is more inclined to believe that technological advances can ultimately benefit mankind.
