Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wrote on the X platform that Deep Funding combines the concepts of "value map" and "refined human judgment", including: 1. Value map: Don't ask "How much contribution has X made to humanity?", but ask "How much of Y's credit belongs to X?" 2. Refined human judgment: The open market of artificial intelligence will fill in all weights, and human juries will randomly check. The first concept (value map) has gradually become a popular paradigm in recent years, and there are good reasons. It is very difficult to measure contributions in the abstract: if you ask people how much they are willing to spend to save N birds, they will answer that it is $80 when N=2000 and $80 when N=200000. More "local" questions like "For C, which one is more valuable, A or B?" are easier to deal with. The second concept (refined human judgment) is based on some ideas in my article on information finance: Condensed human judgment in information finance. Anyone can use any method (such as AI) to suggest weights for all graph edges, and a human jury will perform a detailed analysis of randomly sampled edges. The submission that is most compatible with the jury's answer determines the final output. "

This week, Microsoft investors rejected a proposal to buy Bitcoin. Gracy Chen, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Bitget, said this was expected because most Microsoft shareholders may value the stability of the software giant's assets, and said: "Microsoft's investment in Bitcoin may mean facing additional risks, while many people invest in Microsoft because it is a predictable and good business. For shareholders who build their own diversified portfolios, mixing assets such as cryptocurrencies into the company's balance sheet may complicate the company's valuation and distract investors from the core business goals of buying its shares."
