DeepMind Employee calls out private AI labs: go public, let regular people invest, or admit you're just enriching billionaires

Reddit r/singularity News

Summary

A DeepMind employee argues that private AI labs pursuing AGI should go public or allow average people to invest to prevent solely enriching billionaires.

>any company that thinks their company will reach AGI/ASI/whatever first and who is concerned about the average person and their livelihood due to their own products, should either be public or raise their next round in a way that the average person can invest. Otherwise, you're just enriching the billionaires at this point. https://x.com/roydanroy/status/2052625938932736471#m This is so very true. Most of you on r/singularity would be multimillionaires by now if you guys could have invested in openAI, Anthropic, etc. I recognize many posters on here from even before GPT-3 was released.
