AGI inventor dilemma: open-source, government, or silence?

The "lonely genius" scenario for AGI highlights the critical lack of consensus on global governance for transformative technology. Open-sourcing AGI prevents monopoly but arms bad actors with unprecedented destructive capabilities, while corporate sharing risks profit-driven misery and government control leads to geopolitical weaponization. Silence only delays the inevitable rediscovery of the technology, as individual gatekeeping is increasingly seen as a futile effort against the tide of collective research. Current AI is viewed as mimicry, making the leap to true AGI a distinct philosophical and technical horizon.
