Coordinating Intelligence : Open Algorithm Development for Science, AI, and Beyond
Duration: 00:09:20
Speaker: Dr John Fletcher, PhD, Kilian Hikaru Scheutwinkel
Type: Lightning Talk
Expertise: Intermediate
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
The Innovation Game (TIG) is a market-based framework accelerating development of computational methods crucial to science, engineering, and AI. It creates a "synthetic market" where "Innovators" contribute methods and are rewarded based on adoption by "Benchmarkers," who are rewarded for solving random instances of computational challenges. This enables price discovery for commercial and pre-commercial research, attracting private investment. TIG's hybrid licensing model ensures open collaborat

Common Knowledge Machines
Common knowledge is a precondition for collective action. Yet, increasing polarization in information ecosystems risks undermining common knowledge formation. This talk introduces Community Posts, a mechanism that leverages diversification and zero-knowledge proofs to help people identify divides, bridge them and find common ground, fostering greater common knowledge in social networks.

The Shape of Protocols to Come
Ethereum defies easy categorization—it blends aspects of money, nations, and more, yet doesn't fit neatly into any single category. To build better mental models for understanding Ethereum, we've spent the past two years stepping back and exploring the broader class it belongs to: Protocols. This talk explores the fundamental properties of protocols, strategies for navigating them, and how Ethereum can uniquely contribute to this emerging research field.

Cultivating the Understory : Building Resilient DAOs
Let's explore the overlooked "understory" of DAOs and teams: the human layer that forms the foundation of successful decentralized governance. While much attention is given to the technical and structural aspects of DAOs (the "overstory"), we'll dive into the cultural, social, and distributed leadership elements that are crucial for the longevity and effectiveness of anything we build. Themes: DAO Ecology, Decentralized leadership, Coding culture DNA, Biomimicry for Governance

Onchain Capital Allocation: From current mechanisms to future possbilities
Capital allocation, from paying bills to complex organizational funding, often suffers from inefficiencies and lack of transparency. Web3 has the potential to revolutionize this by enabling more efficient, effective, and transparent capital distribution. By addressing coordination failures and introducing new onchain strategies, crypto could transform how society allocates resources. Gitcoin founder Kevin Owocki will articulate this design space in this 20 minute talk.

DAOs Unmasked: The Hard Truths Behind the Hype
In this talk we will see what a DAO is, what its not and face some hard truths about DAOs and how they are used today. Does a DAO stand for Discord Administered Organization? Is a DAO just a discord chat and a multisig? Is a DAO a way for your company to have 2 cap tables, one for your and your investors and one for your community? Are DAOs a face for a Cayman Islands foundation which uses decentralization theater to shift liability? Are DAOs a way to sidestep regulations? Let's find out!

Working Towards a Plural Public via Common Knowledge and Designated Verifier Proofs
Often cited virtues of blockchains are immutability, transparency, decentralization, openness, and trustlessness. Many also think of their most natural applications as financial. Yet a critical affordance of such systems is often missed: the way they are uniquely suited to facilitate cooperation. Here I show how via CK and DVPs.

Open Tech, Blockchain, and Settlement
In this talk, we discuss the what and why of open tech, starting with networking and the internet. Using the recurring progression of tech to openness, we explore the critical classes of commitments and settlement that enable blockchain to accelerate open coordination of finances, tech, and society.
