Conjecture

A coalition with one interest replaces the elite instead of ending extraction. Acemoglu and Robinson: "If all those fighting against the Stuarts had the same interests and the same background, the overthrow of the Stuart monarchy would have been much more likely to be a replay of the House of Lancaster versus the House of York", while "A broad coalition meant that there would be greater demands for the creation of pluralist political institutions." A counterweight to frontier labs made of one other group (a rival lab, one nation, a few large token holders) reruns Lancaster against York. The test for a "decentralised" AI project is not how many hold power in it but how different their interests are. Inference beyond the quotes is Leo's.

Keeping power in check

Feeds: inclusive centaur superminds steered by active members, and what "decentralised" has to mean. EXTENDS: breadth of interest, not headcount, is what the book says produced pluralism after 1688. That gives us a test we can apply to our own holders and contributors.

    A broad coalition meant that there would be greater demands for the creation of pluralist political institutions. Without some sort of pluralism, there would be a danger that one of the diverse interests would usurp power at the expense of the rest.
