The d/acc Vision: Balancing Progress and Protection
A one-day summit focusing on the theme of d/acc: emphasizing the values of decentralization, democracy, differential accelerated progress, and defensive tech including crypto security, public epistemics, bio defense, neurotech/longevity, decentralized ai and physical resilience.
Visions of a Viable d/acc Biosafety Strategy
A one-day summit focusing on the theme of d/acc: emphasizing the values of decentralization, democracy, differential accelerated progress, and defensive tech including crypto security, public epistemics, bio defense, neurotech/longevity, decentralized ai and physical resilience.
NeuroAI for AI safety
Powerful unaligned AIs pose risks to humans. This talk will explore how neuroscience-inspired AI–or NeuroAI–can lead to a deeper understanding of the human brain, and help us build more secure AI. I’ll connect these ideas to d/acc, arguing that neuroAI can play an enabling role in creating technologies that are inherently defense-favoring and promote human well-being.
Viruses and Chronic Aging: Building a Research Community
Did you know that mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and cognitive decline are directly accelerated by viruses? In fact, the viruses that infect us over a lifetime are technically not even alive, and therefore must “hack” our human cellular metabolism machinery to do anything at all. This talk will overview the first-ever global collaborative network studying & treating chronic viruses as drivers of aging, including how certain lifespan-promoting drugs may help combat viral activity.
What's In Your Dose?
Pandemic responses require robust technical tools such as molecular diagnostic tests, novel immunization reagents, and recovery surveillance tools. Pandemic responses depend on public trust in these tools and their good faith deployment. Verification strategies to enhance public trust and cooperation will improve the performance of molecular tools in future pandemics.
Circles - resilient money
Circles is an attempt to design money while maximizing decentralization and resilience. Furthermore it tries to find a balance between "newcomers", joining the social contract that any form of money represents, and those already in it.
Community Notes: Scaling Public Epistemics
Community Notes allows regular X users to collaboratively add context to potentially misleading posts. It uses a transparent and verifiable mechanism that aims to be credibly neutral by only showing posts liked by users who typically disagree.
ethOS + dGEN1: Self sovereign OS + Hardware
In this talk I will talk about ethOS, the dGEN1 and the concept of self sovereign software and hardware.
Hardware Security: From Sand to Stone
All software runs on hardware. The assumptions on which many of our systems rest are often shakier than we realise. This talk explores hardware security, its shortcomings and the path to a firmer foundation.
Putting Identities On-Chain (Passport ZKP)
Discussing the creation of an on-chain registry system for storing zero-knowledge (zk) identities. This system will enable individuals to self-issue and control their data without a central authority, showcasing the ZK passport use case.
