The budget for AGI is going to be a trillion dollars next year.
So 50 times bigger than the Manhattan Project.

To varying extents, each of these companies has a division that focuses on safety.
Does that division have any sway?
Can they tell the other divisions, no, you can't release that system?
Not really.

Anthropic does.
I think Google DeepMind.
