Interest in Web3

nishio “How did you become interested in Web3?” I answered “I don’t intend to be interested in Web3,” but I felt that this was a difference in perspective, that is, I recognized “centralization of computing by machines” as a part of the history of computer evolution and did not see it as a feature of Web3.

nishio To which I reply, “Centralization? Isn’t that the wrong word for de-centralization?” I am talking about the logical centralization of the three axes of centralization by Vitalik. Three axes of centralization

nishio I’m sure I’ll eventually write an explanation when I can explain it better, but for now I’m finally at the point where I can verbalize something like this That’s how I feel.

@nishio: In this era, the evolution of computers and programming languages has been marked by “the appearance of Ethereum as [the world’s single computer and “Until now, instruction to a computer required learning an artificial language called programming language, but with the advent of InstructGPT, anyone can give instructions in a language”.

relevance

nishio Ethereum is seen as “reinventing the computer”, so “This language is full of global variables…”, “Well, computers today were like that in the early days too. It’s better to have the concept of variables”, “Writing to the Ethereum chain is slow, so there is Polygon”, “Oh, memory is slow, so there is cache”.

nishio I generally feel “that’s true”. Then objects and member variables are created, access control of member variables is created, and things like “after specifying in the constructor, it becomes readonly” become possible, and so on. That’s true.
