Eh, the list and post is not really worth debating. Even the ideas of problems, solutions, and goals are conflated. This has just not been thought about deeply enough by the author to be thought deeply about by others. It's typical Sil

It's unfortunate for the non-rich though, because we have to have our lives affected by those who are rich but don't want to spend time with us. Munger's "architecture" is a good example of that.

It is what happened. OpenAI offered to let Buckmaster publish first but only if Alpoge's name was removed.

This has a surprisingly easy solution: get rid of the rich. It's never, in the history of the world, been in anyone's favor, except the oligarchy, to privatize everything.
