> The sky-high potential of AGI means that a few very rich people/companies will be willing to pay an enormous amount of money to have a monopoly on the technology. Companies regularly pool resources to share the cost of building technology, and they regularly do it for competitive reasons. Kubernetes, for example, is an open source public good that splits its development costs between several companies. By sharing the runtime code as open source, the cost for any one cloud provider to build a competitive Kubernetes offering goes down. Google built it to compete with AWS’ offerings. The edge I see these AI companies potentially having is data to train or knowledge how – not money.
