Weigh in on the Desirable Properties
If you represent Center For Humane Technology, confirm the source URLs, then open the Desirable Properties tab and leave a patch idea where the property text misses what your public work already argues.
These directions are generated from Center For Humane Technology's public corpus, not from private landing pads. Each one is a hypothesis. Follow the interest that feels like your work. The Hermes prompt and Discuss link are real contribution paths, not a brochure.
DP8 · hypothesis
Collaborative Environment and Meta-Communities
Your stated mission ("Never before have a handful of tech designers had such control over the way billions of us think, act, and live our lives.") sits next to DP8's human issue: Online communities constantly restart. Guiding question: How do communities persist beyond platforms?
Direction to explore
How do Alliance members share a collaboration space without collapsing into one platform community?
Candidate patch idea
Define meta-communities as optional shared rooms with explicit consent, not an ambient social network that harvests the Alliance listserv.
DP20 · hypothesis
Community Ownership
Your stated mission ("Never before have a handful of tech designers had such control over the way billions of us think, act, and live our lives.") sits next to DP20's human issue: Platforms own everything users create. Guiding question: Who should own the next layer of the Internet?
Direction to explore
This is the anti-capture test: can Center For Humane Technology's coordination space stay owned by people if commercial players arrive later?
Candidate patch idea
Strengthen anti-capture language: community rules and exit rights are written before large commercial platforms are invited to play.
DP11 · hypothesis
Safe and Ethical AI
Your stated mission ("Never before have a handful of tech designers had such control over the way billions of us think, act, and live our lives.") sits next to DP11's human issue: AI hallucinations and harmful outputs. Guiding question: What does trustworthy AI actually look like?
Direction to explore
If Labs ships AI products, which safety claims belong in DP11 versus product policy?
Candidate patch idea
Require glass-box disclosure when AI drafts norms that later bind a community, including this briefing itself.
DP13 · hypothesis
AI Containment
Your stated mission ("Never before have a handful of tech designers had such control over the way billions of us think, act, and live our lives.") sits next to DP13's human issue: AI manipulation and agent overreach. Guiding question: How do we keep AI helpful without letting agents overreach?
Direction to explore
What containment is needed before protocol-adjacent AI agents act in a shared layer?
Candidate patch idea
Sandbox agent write-access until a named human steward accepts the action against an ML-REQ.
DP14 · hypothesis
Trust and Transparency
Your stated mission ("Never before have a handful of tech designers had such control over the way billions of us think, act, and live our lives.") sits next to DP14's human issue: Misinformation, propaganda, and deepfakes. Guiding question: How do we rebuild trust in an AI-powered Internet?
Direction to explore
How should Center For Humane Technology show when Hermes inferred from public pages versus when a human confirmed?
Candidate patch idea
Require provenance on AI-assisted governance artifacts: source URLs, confirmations, and remaining hypotheses.
DP2 · hypothesis
Participant Agency and Empowerment
Your stated mission ("Never before have a handful of tech designers had such control over the way billions of us think, act, and live our lives.") sits next to DP2's human issue: Algorithms controlling what you see. Guiding question: How do we ensure people stay in control of their digital lives?
Direction to explore
Does Center For Humane Technology's agency claim stop at data export, or does it include control of attention and presence?
Candidate patch idea
Add that portable social graphs and presence settings are required expressions of participant agency, not optional app features.
