bayeslord argues alignment breakthroughs should be open: "If OpenAI invented the seatbelt and Anthropic invented the airbag, we'd want both as public knowledge, deployed everywhere—not siloed." Critic yeastsplainer supports openness but calls the 'minds as products' framing demented, noting the industry can only think through the lens of products and markets. The tension: you can't treat safety as critically important while also accepting competitive secrecy.
