“Private computation will allow us to build the next pyramids” Elad, you rock!! Great presentation. Let us know in which fields you are looking for collaboration.

[@raiakil]

right

[@AIin1771]

the next pyramid scheme

[@mbharatm]

Really well explained about the importance of zkps... This is going to be the future! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Cheguevara945]

Very interesting presentation. The missing part “privacy” is implemented in the DUSK network protocol.

[@levyyitzhak7398]

I like this guy, especially when running at 1.25 speed

[@bransonharlem9462]

a trick : watch series on flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.

[@rykergael5335]

@Branson Harlem Yea, been using Flixzone for years myself :D

[@maxjacoby3048]

@Branson Harlem Yup, been watching on flixzone for months myself :)

[@jianhuaixie]

awesome，is there team dev with this zk-snark tech？

[@TxFw]

Apparently, the zero knowledge part of ZK-SNARKs is the easy part. The hard part is the S, succinct.

[@TxFw]

How do ZKPs get added to blockchains? I don't understand the mechanisms at play or at what point a ZKP becomes part of the chain.

[@litbeatzzz]

for example zcash or mina protocol

[@user-ly3nt2kh5g]

Great talk

[@hoastbeef1202]

The data that goes into Zero Knowledge proofs is still visible to the nodes that computes on it right?

[@nachannachle2706]

Not unless there is some form of private data computation protocols implemented at the same time, I guess? Zk proofs are only solving 1 aspect of privacy...and not the most crucial, according to him.

[@AaronHollander314]

No. You give your score, but not give any info on how many shots you took or steals blocks dunks minutes played. All that is kept to yourself. Your score is fed into groups that can then be analyzed. There's no way to tell who's score is who's or how it came about.

[@faresar]

Felt like a tedx speech, only i barely understood it

[@ubunteroz]

First comment 😀

[@georgesamaras2922]

Outside world may not know who transfers money to whom, but bank insiders know, and they get an unfair advantage when it comes to issuing loans. Also we would like to know where taxes and other forms of public money get transfered to.

[@ramdas363]

WTF! Thanks for pointing this out.

[@matchory]

What... Corda? For real?

[@deanalainv]

2nd cause I bought a pizza and a bag of weed

[@deanalainv]

seriously great talk.

[@MarcHarris]

@@deanalainv after the weed or before,,before the pizza but after the weed or during the weed and pizza or before the weed and after the pizza or did you watch it twice..? if in doubt please repeat experiment daily

Privacy , compliance, cooperation issue .

[@cecilechau7932]

Private computation

[@cecilechau7932]

We both want to collaborate but we but don’t trust each other

[@cecilechau7932]

Auction: a mix of cryptography and game theory

[@cecilechau7932]

To preserve privacy while maintaining business value, MPC and Zkp is really going to empower a lot of these systems

[@cecilechau7932]

AI deciding taxation policy would be horrendous. We've seen the problems with AI already, for example with the social media user-engagement optimisations leading to increased division and hatred between people. AI is amoral and shouldn't be relied upon to make decisions.

[@whatsupbudbud]

Depends on the model parameters and the overall logic, so transparency is key.

[@DonaldMcIntyre]

Money is not a shared myth.

[@AlphaMaverick1111]

Harari quote was BS.

[@musashi4856]

He was doing great until he cited the eugenicist Yuval Noah Harari (WEF puppet).

[@johnrobie9694]

Unfortunately, his ignorance on governance and philosophy made me question his intelligence in zero knowledge...
