Forget about the model’s weights, the revolution will be published in an academic journal. The underlying principles of AGI are going to be talked about, even if the exact methods are secret. As a scientist, to discover something important and then carry it to the grave is an absurd proposition. That is not asking people for discretion or secrecy, that is asking them for their resignation and early permanent retirement.
The nuclear bomb industry is in a similar state: we all know the basic science but we dont publish schematics! This minor omission from the scientific literature only slowed down nuclear armament, but it did not prevent the cold war nuclear arms race. However, unlike bombs, AGI might actually be useful and so most people are much more motivated to persue this tech.
