that's the problem, that it's a company running things. it should be a publicly-funded team of researchers, because this is a new tool and new area of reality that should be studied, and not feared. with this, it would be easier to not let our "humanness" get in the way (e.g. companies being scared of the emotions of the members of human society).

"Publicly-funded team of reserchers" will still have non-scientist bosses to answer to. A multi-billion dollar research project will either have to have financial backing from governments or large corporations. And when a delegate goes to a politian or CEO to ask for millions of dollars in donation, you can bet your ass that they will want to know what will be the AI's "opinion" on their policies and ideologies.

A lot of people are already pissed off about ChatGPT having "wrong" opinions or "replacing workers." And with all the hysteria and controversy surrounding AI systems funding, AI research with small donations sounds almost impossible.
