Congrats to @rajivpoc! Rajiv is one of the best investors I've met in the past few years, both in crypto and on new frontiers like robotics 🐐

Very exciting work by @ronrothblum and co! ZK proving typically costs 100,000-1,000,000x the underlying computation. Flock achieves 250x overhead when proving standard hash functions like sha256 and blake3.

It's been a year and a half since we first announced OP Succinct: our flagship product to secure blockchains with ZK technology. Today, we're proud to be working with @base, one of the largest L2s, to secure billions in assets on their chain.

AI makes every fake: the latest generation of AI models have crossed the rubicon. You cannot trust what you see online. Every day, people are fooled by fake content; from the mundane (is the Pope wearing Balenciaga?!) to the consequential (did Iranian missiles actually strike Tel Aviv)? Cryptography makes it real again: cryptography offers us a way out. By combining cryptographic hardware and software, we can prove authenticity of content--images, video, audio--at the source. This will become the canonical way to prove what's real. Huge respect to @balajis, who is always ahead of his time and has been discussing these ideas for many years. It was a pleasure to riff with him on the Network State pod!

First thought: this is insanely good, OpenAI team cooked Second thought: we are so cooked without the ability to Prove What's Real
