Meta released its open-weight Muse Glimmer model while Mark Zuckerberg argued for “superintelligence for all.” The release distributes capability. The essay treats that as distributed control.
That is the category error.
Open weights give more people agency. They do not give them the doctrine, evaluations, permissions, feedback paths, or accountability needed to govern what that agency does. You can put more pilots in the air without building more air traffic control.
A real balance of power requires regulatory capacity to spread with capability. Otherwise the gap widens between who can act and who can detect, stop, and repair the consequences.
Serious operators should judge an open model by the correction architecture around it—not by how many people can download it.
