Like, from an "AI safety" perspective, scaling current techniques to even bigger compute -> earlier superintelligence -> more risk. And from an "AI openness" perspective, it increases the divide between megacorps and plebs.

<radical> Globally abolish patent laws and nullify NDAs for anything computer-hardware related. Would reduce incentive to make the next version in the short-term, and at the same time make that whole industry less fragile. </radical> (less radical: just don't do the $7T computer hardware thing)

Radical indeed, but there's a certain appeal to shaking up the status quo. It could be the 'open source' revolution that hardware desperately needs.

Abolishing IP for hardware runs into the same challenge as in pharma: what is the incentive then for R&D investment other than altruism/fun?

Radical to implement but I don’t think it’s as radical when considering the societal, environmental implications. There’s a lot of waste and danger in producing non-oss hardware. I feel this is blocked on finding a sustainable (profitable?) open source software model.

Probably hard to implement though but I get your point
