Completely unrelated, but whenever I see stats like "Deepmind, an org of about 1,000 employees" and then contrast that to the amount of interesting advancements they're making, I cant help but wonder where we'd be with 100,000+ people working on these type of issues.

Kind of how most medical advancements come out of the US, which makes up only <4.25% of world population.

I know orgs dont scale like that and there are hits to productivity with orgs getting less lean but still.

Get rid of hierarchies and there might be 100,000 people working on these problems. The masses are limited by the ceiling of greedy egomaniacs. So tired of seeing singular human names take credit for the works of thousands.
