Conditional Recall

Duration: 00:25:13

Speaker: sxysun, Christoph Schlegel

Type: Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

In the neon-lit nights of 2025, Johnson & Johnson unveiled X. A pill, not larger than a snowflake, but it promised a tempest of change.

We explore the game theoretic implications of a technology (such as TEEs) that allows players to commit to forget information and discuss several applications.
