## Quote — verbatim

> If you go to a hackathon in San Francisco, your biggest prize is API credits — that's more valuable than money. Access to OpenAI API is more valuable than money right now... if you say the wrong thing, a wrong prompt, your access gets cut. So one company controlling that — is that the future that you want, or do you want the future where all of us have a say?

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Discussion of AGI concentration risk; Greg (a frequent SF hackathon attendee, per his later remarks) adds that anyone who builds AGI has "no incentive to release it to the world." Captions not diarized — attribution based on the hackathon reference matching Greg's later statements.
