1) The current system is that the rich get richer faster than the poor.
2) You're proposing a system where everybody gets richer at the same rate at the best of times (but probably devolves into case 1 IMO)
3) I am proposing a system where people get richer at the rate of how much work they put in. If a rich person does not produce value, he doesn't get richer at all. If a poor person produces value he gets richer according to how many people benefit from it. If a poor person puts in 1000 units of work and a rich person puts in 10 units of work to distribute the work to more people (for example through marketing), they get richer at comparative rates 1000:10.
My system is obviously harder to implement (despite all the revolutions in history, societies have always devolved to case 1, or sometimes case 2 that devolved into 1 later). It might be impossible to implement perfectly but it does not mean we should stop trying to make things at least less unfair.

We're in agreement that forcing companies who take (steal) work from everyone to release their models for free is better than letting them profit without bounds.
However, I am taking it way further. If AI research leads to fundamental changes in society, we should take it as an opportunity to reevaluate the societal systems we have now and make them more fair.
For example, I don't care who owns assets. I care about who puts in work. It's a more fundamental unit of value. Work produces assets after all.

And BTW making models free does not in any way help restore users' rights provided by AGPL. And I have yet to come across anybody making a workable proposal how to protect these rights in an age where AGPL code is remixed through statistics into all software without making it also AGPL. In fact, I have yet to find anybody who acknowledges it's a problem.
