Vitalik Buterin Discusses Deep Funding Concepts

According to BlockBeats, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently shared insights on social media regarding the concept of Deep Funding, which integrates two key ideas. The first idea, known as the 'Value Graph,' shifts the focus from asking how much X contributes to humanity to questioning how much of Y's success can be attributed to X. This concept has gained traction in recent years due to its practical approach. Measuring contributions in abstract terms is challenging; for instance, when asked how much they would pay to save N birds, people might say $80 for both 2,000 and 200,000 birds. However, more localized questions, such as determining whether A or B is more valuable to C, are easier to address. The second idea, 'Refined Human Judgment,' draws from Buterin's thoughts on information finance. It involves an open AI market providing weight distribution suggestions, which are then verified by a randomly sampled human jury. This approach allows anyone to propose weightings for all edges of the graph using any method, such as AI. The human jury conducts a detailed analysis of randomly sampled edges, and the submission most aligned with the jury's answers determines the final output. This method aims to refine human judgment through a structured process of validation and compatibility with jury decisions.
