@tszzl Isn’t this basically the ‘doomer’ case? If one AI company, why not one AI? If one AI, why care about humans? What separates this from thinking that we stand one AI decision away from extinction?

@Suhail no startups can definitely exist in that environment just may be very minor players capturing OOMs less value relative to whoever is running this superintelligence

@tszzl Your belief is a few $30T companies and all of startups is near dead? Seems very zero sum!

@tszzl I wouldn't presume only a few will be running super intelligence. It could end up being 1000s. I wouldn't bet against human invention and ingenuity (combined with today's AI).
