the problem is that if it's not openai I then it's anthropic, if it's not anthropic then it's someone else. if it's not the US then it's China. if it's not China (lol as if) then it's someone else.
underdogs also use that fact to push as much dirt and dislike as possible on the top dog, but just so that they can do the same anyway... and openai will just stop spending for IPO as we all know. then all execs will make 1bi or so. top guys a few hundred bi.
That's not actually a problem, it's just good ol' pessimism of the devil-you-know / why bother locking the door when the next thief has a brick variety.
The OP here isn't describing a hypothetical - folks are prosecuted for doing these sorts of things, just like folks occasionally get prosecuted for breaking & entering. If that goes away, we're left with the impossible task of creating unbreakable windows or - far more likely - we don't get to have nice things.
