"Privacy is now the core thesis both for AI and blockchain. Privacy is freedom." Illia Polosukhin and Alex Skidanov go deep on formal verification and NEAR's macro vision with The Rollup. Watch the full fireside:

@therollupco @ilblackdragon @AlexSkidanov Privacy is freedom you can access on NEAR with Meteor Wallet.🛡️

@therollupco @ilblackdragon @AlexSkidanov そうですよね、プライバシーがあればこそ安心して創作できる。音楽と共に考えながら進めたいです！

@therollupco @ilblackdragon @AlexSkidanov privacy is just the baseline now tbh

@therollupco @ilblackdragon @AlexSkidanov Hard to have freedom when the tech stack feels like a black box tbh

@therollupco @ilblackdragon @AlexSkidanov privacy as core thesis for both AI and blockchain is a strong framing

@therollupco @ilblackdragon @AlexSkidanov Privacy as freedom is a nice line. Formal verification is where it gets actually hard.

@therollupco @ilblackdragon @AlexSkidanov We're entering an era where privacy isn't only freedom, but also security. Security from centralized entities holding troves of user data, becoming honeypots, and exposing customer PII. Privacy is security.

@therollupco @ilblackdragon @AlexSkidanov If NEAR stopped inflation and kept using part of its profits for buybacks and burns, the price would have skyrocketed long ago.

@therollupco @ilblackdragon @AlexSkidanov NEAR's macro vision enables QUANTUM-SAFE DApps. 2/3 of the globe run on NEAR now with TEE-based execution in place and a lot more coming.

@therollupco @ilblackdragon @AlexSkidanov yeah privacy is the whole game now tbh, been saying this
