Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, has proposed a new philosophy called 'd/acc' (Defensive Acceleration) as a counterbalance to unbridled techno-optimism. He discussed the need for defense, decentralization, democracy, and differential in promoting social change. Buterin also warned about the potential of superintelligent AI surpassing humans, leading to human extinction and the displacement of humans as the apex species. His reflections on techno-optimism and the impact of AI have sparked divided opinions within the community. Buterin's views have been described as thoughtful and compelling by various commentators, with some emphasizing the positive impacts of technology while others highlight the need to avoid existential risks.
