I wrote this in 2021: Billionaires: Our Single Point of Failure https://metastable.org/billionaires/
Sincere question: what do you believe should happen when a company becomes successful?
You make excellent criticisms and I've had similar thoughts. But I never really understood what people want to do other than confiscate companies once they become successful. Not saying that is what you want to do - you specifically say not that.
You mention "let’s engineer a network of trust and monitoring and a culture of transparency". I'm not sure what that means.

Does Baron Capital represent the Harkonnens?

Probably nothing technical but he certainly does provide huge value as a brand and IMHO he is irreplaceable. Who else can convince very rich people invest gargantuan amounts of money into moonshot projects?
If he died tomorrow nothing would change. Sam Altman would just rush in to be the next money playboy with idiosyncrasies.
