Why do we assume anyone will give us access to superintelligence?

Reddit r/singularity News

Summary

The article questions why we assume public access to superintelligence, suggesting that companies might withhold it for competitive advantage, making open access economically irrational.

Thought experiment. Let's suppose a company develops something genuinely superintelligent. The full "enslaved god" scenario, in Tegmark's framework. In what universe would its rational next move be to put it behind a $200/month subscription? If it can accelerate its own R&D, improve its successor models, discover technologies, protect its infrastructure, make better strategic decisions and increase the organization's advantage, then giving competitors and the general public comparable access is utterly irrational, economically speaking. What am I missing? Is there a window in AI history during which ordinary people have relatively open access to near-frontier intelligence...and might that window eventually close from either direction?
