The last 10 min of the latest Dwarkesh podcast are surprising

First time I've seen him grapple live with the potential for extreme concentration of power, which is where most projections of AI development point (see the SA, 2027 or 2040 posts for instance).

Generally I'm always surprised by how few people in AI/ML are questioning or worried about extreme concentration.

I guess people think it's fine as long as everyone outside the labs can use AI models and it brings lower prices, but the dangers are massive on both fronts: (1) latest models being less and less accessible (see Model 2 / Astra) and (2) prices have many incentives to rise in an oligopoly/cartel situation of extremely powerful companies.
