If you want people to copy it, but want a 20 year temporary monopoly, you can publish an open source step-by-step guide for someone to recreate what you’re doing with the patent office.
Also 20 years is a crazy long time in some industries (like most software).
There is not an obvious path to making this research public again. That's the reality. For open source to be competitive it needs to be approximately as efficient as the best systems we design.
Listing on stock exchange of ai product requires open sourcing parts or all of your publicly trained stack.
Double or triple taxes on companies that do not provide for public good.
Will this happen, probably when the market crashes and people want companies and individuals to pay. Really matters if it’s a 2008 crash or a 1929 crash where the bankers and stock brokers were jumping out of upper stories.
I thought "recursive self improvement" would bring an effective abundance for everybody, any minute now, Musk said so himself. Seems the researchers in the field are lying to us about it while they clutch their pearls and dream about other people's money as if the future is a dog-eats-dog world of death-inducing scarcity.
They shouldn't be lying like that, or at least, their lying shouldn't be so obvious.
Recursive self improvement is a blue skies longer term thing. No one technical is saying that it's live right now.
