The author argues that AGI should be built as an open-source framework rather than a closed proprietary system.
- Open source, in this view, does not mean unrestricted release of the most dangerous capabilities.
- The core framework should be inspectable, publicly tested, and governed with visible rules.
- The post argues closed AGI concentrates power in the hands of a few companies, governments, and wealthy actors.
- It calls for open safety tests, open alignment research, public audits, staged releases, and clear access controls.
- The central claim: if AGI is too dangerous for public scrutiny, it is too dangerous for private ownership.
