Teortaxes on Dario's 'corruption': quoting Liang Wenfeng that AI is simply too large to monopolize

- teortaxesTex weighs in on criticism of Dario: the Anthropic CEO spends too much energy on Sam Altman's personality and China, and not enough on misaligned superintelligence.
- His diagnosis: a mere human reached power grotesquely beyond human distribution, possibly exhibiting the 'absolute power corrupts absolutely' effect for the first time.
- He cites Liang Wenfeng's view as a footnote: AI is unlike past software markets—too large for anyone to monopolize; hoarding benefits invites enormous resistance, so openness and restraint are prerequisites for success.
- Attached images show an essay likening AGI to a black hole: capital, labs and compute are all captured by its gravity, and inside the accretion disk time dilates as everything orbits AGI.
