I appreciate the humility and clarity of your writing. The capabilities versus uses framework is helpful, and I wonder what we can learn from other regulatory efforts to constrain the capabilities of useful technologies (nuclear, guns, automobiles). When does it make sense to transfer the burden of responsibility from the user (someone driving too fast) to the regulator/technologist (California’s proposal to limit the possible speed of cars)?

Looking forward to the rest of the series.

For those like me that read better with their ears, I've run this through ElevenLabs for an AI reading.
