Ignoring entities with malicious intent for a moment, would we expect to see a “crypto” style frenzy of miniature AI companies running /goal on highest returns, competing against each other and the labs to rent or buy compute? Or are crypto dynamics not feasible when labs are themselves hungry for compute?
This seems both likely and scary to me. Morals and societal benefit just get optimized away in such a setting. It’s a zero/negative-sum competition resembling the modern day online ad market.
