Your argument about corporate secrets is sufficient to change my mind on activist patent trolling being a productive strategy against AI X-risk.
The part about funding would need to be solved with philanthropy. I don’t believe that org exists, but I don’t see why it couldn’t.
I’m still curious whether there are other cases in which activist patent trolling can be a good option, such as animal welfare, chemistry, public health, or geoengineering (ie fracking).
