We don't know how AGI will shake out or, especially, what it will even look like. What does out-competing AGI even mean? One of the most positive outcomes I can think of is AGI being aligned with human interests broadly, but it is doing so much that no one knows wtf is going on. A BCI can bridge that understanding gap to at least keep humans in the know and capable of steering the ship. If the competition is AGI wants to kill us, then we're probably hosed anyway. That's why I said we need open source and open hardware alternatives. But there's no world where that kind of tech comes first. Companies are going to develop the cutting edge first, when has that not been the case? I'm really, really happy to see that there's healthy competition in the space. Especially, ironically, from Meta who has just been so great on the open-source front for quite a while.
