“For the good of humanity we must protect what I’m working on at the expense of others because it’s super important.”

As frustrating as the anti-AI crowd can be, I see why they end up that way when the valley is full of opinions like this.

Does this match the kind of eminent domain case we might see where the country needs a highway more than it needs one particular citizen's house?

When they bulldoze the house to pave the highway, they toss the homeowner a few bucks. If you take an author’s books do you owe him a share of OpenAI?

What are you forfeiting for the good of humanity? Would you give up a big chunk of your income? What happens when this batch of “innovators” don’t deliver AGI and only enrich themselves? What happens if they do deliver AGI and (hypothetically) still keep it to themselves?

You come with the selfless proposal that everyone give to the poor $tn companies”for the good of humanity”. I’ll assume this is just hopelessly naive but you post so insistently that it makes me wonder.

Have you at tried asking society how they feel about you acting "for their good"? Because popular sentiment seems pretty opposed to AI.
