Broadly agree with conclusions that we need to open up and distribute benefits across the axes of knowledge, resources and power. It seems that legal regulation and social pressure are the key tools to achieve this. Felt that many of the comparisons to empire were alike with tech giants prior to AI, with AI perhaps serving to accelerate these trends and forge new tech giants. To the extent that the book is chiefly just a call for more regulation, social pressure and non-corporate research and education, I think the empire analogy is unnecessary. But considering the empire analogy may be helping in thinking about the motives and trajectories of these ideals… amassing the power, resources and knowledge of a empire does corrupt into needs to consolidate and sustain the empire, much as it often does with companies. We should pushback on the corporate and empirical forms because democratic forms are less awful.
