Meta Advocates Open Superintelligence, Pushes Back Against AI Doom and Power Concentration
natolambert · x · 2026-08-10
Meta published an essay titled "The Future is for Everyone," outlining its philosophy on developing superintelligence. The company advocates for individual empowerment through open access, positioning invention as the primary purpose of superintelligence and balance of power as the foundation of safety.
The essay explicitly pushes back against the doom-laden discourse and extreme safety narratives in the AI industry. It argues that concentrating power in a few institutions under the guise of safety is inherently problematic, noting that historically, relying on enlightened absolute power has not led to positive outcomes.
