> If we give companies unending hype, near unlimited government and scientific resources, all of our personal data including thoughts and behavior patterns, how do we know their leaders will do what we want them to, and not try to subvert us and… take over the world? How do we know they stay on humanity’s side?

I've been saying this for a while

malevolent unaligned entities have already been deployed, in direct control of trillions of dollars of resources

they're called: Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Elon Musk, Sam Altman

"AI" simply increases the scale of the damage they can inflict, given they'll now need far fewer humans to be involved in enacting their will upon humanity

Distribute power or go home. Something missed by many in these conversations is the role of open source in raising the floor so that we have a gazillion companies that have more interest in there being a fair, predictable market than a winner-take-all market.

Really good point on open source and the nudges it provides, and definitely a point that isn't made often enough!
