>the belief that AGI is too dangerous to be controlled by OpenAI/Sam Altman.

I agree with that assessment. But the Dario's jump went from "AGI should not be controlled by OpenAI/Sam Altman" to "AGI shoudl be controlled by Anthropic/Dario", which is definitely a better scenario for him, but not the rest of the world.

>It naturally follows that it would also be too dangerous to be in the hands of literally everyone on earth.

In fact, you can argue that in a world where all countries have nuclear weapons is actually a better scenario than a world where nuclear weapons are owned by 1 or 2 American billionaires/trillionaires, no matter if those people believe they are the "good guys".

Isn’t it plausibly better if AI is controlled by Dario than Altman even if neither situation is palatable? It feels like people look at the two and dislike both of them so they consider them the same.

People who know him frequently refer to Altman as a literal psychopath unprompted. People who don’t know Dario just find him arrogant.
