Thanks for raising that important question, David. You’reabsolutely right—principles can be weaponized, and ensuring thatdoesn’t happen is crucial.

What sets a meta-layer apart is that we have the opportunity to designthe system intentionally—striking the right balance between privacy,safety, agency, and accountability. Unlike the open internet, wherewe’re often reacting to issues, a meta-layer allows us to establishthe rules proactively from the outset.

This approach helps us avoid the extremes—no one principle becomesabsolute—while remaining adaptive to new risks. A couple of weeksago, Paul Werbos shared some exciting ideas in this group on how wemight embed intelligence in a meta-layer for adaptive governance.Would love to hear your thoughts on how we can refine these frameworksfurther to stay ahead of potential misuse.
