summary

We discussed using technology to bolster counter speech, with a focus on organizing efforts and fostering curiosity. Agreed on next steps to refine value statements with Drea and explore charitable initiatives that would collect and analyze hate speech data.

Strategic Market - We are betting on the existence of a sufficient market—communities and engaged DAOs who value more than just basic solutions—to invest in our offering.

Tailoring our strategy - Address regional nuances (e.g., ensuring that communities receive the protections they deserve amid ongoing polarization in the US) and leveraging AI for community safeguarding.

Broadening The Scope Beyond DAOs - While DAOs remain a key focus, our strategy should also target generalizable aspects of governance, including web3 adaptations. Incorporating reinforcement learning with human oversight and additional training data can make our tool appealing even to those new to web3.

Narrative Building - Strengthening social media presence was identified as a critical component for outreach and engagement. Addressed the importance of maintaining safe spaces online, especially for vulnerable groups such as women in blockchain.

Additional notes

Medhuri noted that the Ethereum Foundation backlash might have been anticipated earlier.

Alex suggested that we should de-emphasize broad AI democratization and governance topics, instead focusing on reputation-based voting mechanisms and exploring platforms like flock.io.

Discussions included ensuring that community reactions remain constructive, and the potential benefit of collaborating with experienced, non-web3 members to enhance trust and value.
