⚡ After reading V God’s latest article "A shallow dive into formal verification," I couldn’t help but add to my position $ETH !
It’s very clear that V God @VitalikButerin now almost always ends up focusing on the same core:
How to maintain verification, constraints, exit, and personal sovereignty while capabilities continue to grow.
This is also what I think makes ETH and many AI projects stand out—the thing that always touches you is something pure!
This article is no longer just a technical piece; it’s a re-examination of a very cypherpunk real-world issue:
When AI starts writing code on a large scale, can humans still trust software?
Especially when crypto, ZK, cross-chain, AI agents, and automated financial protocols stack together, the system complexity has begun to exceed human auditing limits.
This is actually the most interesting part of the entire article to me:
Many believe AI will strengthen decentralization because AI lowers the barriers to creation;
But what Vitalik sees is the opposite—
AI can also greatly reinforce centralization. If in the end all security depends solely on company custody and black-box AI, then the cypherpunk ethos is over.
So, essentially, he is re-trying to find a trusted neutral layer for the AI era.
And the answer he ultimately finds is actually the same as what Ethereum has been doing all these years:
Not pursuing maximum efficiency, but pursuing “verifiability.” AI + Formal Verification is just like Blockchain + ZK.
