   Our readingThere is far less trade-off than people assume between a safer AI race and widely shared gains: a big lead can be held by a widely owned public company.

   Their wordssome people think either uh frontier AI gets commoditized and we all enjoy the benefits, but there might be some risk because like it's the market's really competitive and cutthroat, or um things are safer because there's a big gap between the leader and the laggard, but that means that the leaders get fantastically wealthy. No, like you could just have a relatively big gap, but it's a public company ownership and it's widely distributed.
