I think it is insanely unethical that the large AI labs are not proactively decentralizing ownership, while their success is still uncertain.
The only way I could see doing this that would make sense is an IPO.
If you tried to ‘decentralize ownership’ through charity, you’re just making your lab uninvestable. Like it or not you are in a highly competitive world where if your competitor can out-fundraise you by 5X, that’s probably just it. Then what has your moral stance achieved?
Race dynamics suck, but the moral thing to do is not sabatoge your own chance at winning, it’s to complain loudly and push for change while continuing to race with maximum efficacy.

Yes I am very obviously talking about an ipo, instead of just taking endless middle eastern oligarch money
