Given a few conditions I completely agree with this sentiment.

If this does indeed become world-changing, leading to AGI, then the best hope we have is that those with all the power are ethical. Giving it to everyone could be chaos. Giving an advantage to other superpowers would be terrifying.

Not ideal, but in their position I can't think of a better alternative. I am not saying I want anyone to have AGI btw, just that this is going to happen eventually (perhaps not via OpenAI/GPT) and getting there first may be game over for all other parties.

Giving it to everyone might improve our chances at having a balance of power. As things stand, they're betting that there won't be much competition, and that they can handle it all on their own.
