Minor remark, inspired (but not necessarily endorsed) by Buck:
The whole point of the Trust is to be able to act contrary to the interests of massively incentivized stakeholders. This is fundamentally a hard task, and it would be easy for the Trust Agreement to leave the Trust disempowered for practical purposes even if the people who wrote it weren’t trying to sabotage it. And as we saw with OpenAI, it’s dangerous to assume that the de facto power structures in an AI company match what’s on paper.
(This post is about a sharper, narrower concern — that if you read the relevant document you’d immediately conclude that the Trust has no real power.)
