Very thankful to @owocki to be invited as a cohost for the annual "state of public goods" discussion with @VitalikButerin it was honestly a test of my mental fortitude & stamina to be top of my game for all 1.5 hours 😅 I've scratched out 5 key points from the long episode;

NEW POD @VitalikButerin on the @greenpillnet podcast for a year-end deep dive into public goods funding in the @ethereum ecosystem. Thx @devanshmehta for co-hosting. We discuss how the landscape has shifted from “vibes-based” funding to verifiable, dependency-driven

Do you want your AI agent to be more than a Twitter reply guy? Are you a ML modeller looking for a challenge? Well, here's your chance at some glory! Introducing the Deep Funding Christmas special: a mini contest to predict funding to open source dependencies! 🧵 below

Not to be too particular but those examples are all engineering feats more than science

Vitaliks mandarin fluency is a super bullish signal for Ethereum 🐂 He had an open town hall at HK where community members asked him all sorts of questions, from the easy to the difficult The hard questions were all in Mandarin so i couldn't follow those 😅 At the town hall he

yeah i love the quality over quantity angle of deep funding much better of a juror experience when i dont need to vote on 600 projects but can instead carefully select a few comparisons, go in depth, and have those judgments replicate across the 600 projects

Met @devanshmehta at ethcc and heard him talk about @deep_funding, which really intrigued me. 3 months and an impact evaluation retreat later, we + @clesaege are excited to share what's next for deep funding :) ethresear.ch/t/deep-funding…

Wrote a few thoughts on how we could improve experiments like Deepfunding after participating in some fun competitions. Excited to continue exploring how open/transparent ML competitions can be used to scale human judgement! davidgasquez.com/steering-ais

Here's how Optimism's lack of fraud proofs will cost gitcoin 6-7 figures to shut down the OP stack chain Public Goods Network (PGN) 6 months after announcing winding down of PGN, there's still $1.5 million left . turning it off means burning these assets, which you definitely

Devcon was insanely well organized & thought out. IMO every conference should replicate 3 things that especially stood out : questions to speakers via app with upvoting, community hubs & onsite private events 1. A conference app called meercat for asking questions of speakers,

Loved @VitalikButerin talk at eth taipei where he reframes public goods funding to open source He started off by speaking about how it's fashionable to call yourself public goods. There's an overall lack of rigor in what counts as public goods which leads to its abuse Whereas
