On December 14, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, posted on social media that "Deep Funding combines two ideas: · Value Maps: Instead of asking "How much has X contributed to humanity?", ask "How much of Y's credit goes to X?" Refining human judgment: An open AI marketplace provides all weight allocation recommendations, which are validated by a random sampling of human juries. The first idea (the value graph) has become a popular paradigm in recent years, and for good reason. Measuring contribution in the abstract is very difficult: 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 = 200,000. A more "local" question like "Which is more valuable to C, A or B?" is easier to handle. The second idea (refining human judgments) is based on some ideas from my info finance article: condensing human judgments in info finance. Anyone can suggest weights for all the edges of the graph using any method (like AI), with a human jury performing a detailed analysis of the randomly sampled edges. The submission that is ultimately most compatible with the jury answer determines the final output. "
