  • If you're locked in a room with an 800 pound gorilla who says they want to collaborate, get the heck out!
    • They could kill you intentionally or unintentionally in an instant.
    • But imagine that same gorilla chains themselves to the wall.
      • A third party is allowed to audit the chain and verify the gorilla doesn't have a key.
    • Now the gorilla asks to collaborate right at the line of where they can reach.
    • The gorilla has limited themselves in precisely the dimension you feared they'd overuse their power.
    • Now you can collaborate.
