I don’t think destroying one megacorp is easier than destroying two, each of half the size. My model: it’s easier to destroy a hundred companies with one employee than to destroy one company with a hundred employees, if one is coming in with an external force.
Conditional on OpenAI forcibly taking over Anthropic, it is more likely that Alphabet forcibly takes over OpenAI (or OpenAI forcibly takes over the AI portions of Alphabet). I was more thinking of “what if a freak event caused a forced takeover” rather than “what if corporate murder of AI labs became normal”.

Thanks for the thoughtful response.
