I don't think there's really a winning of AGI [...]. A race implies it's zero sum, and it implies that there's a finish line. As we know, technologies and science and knowledge proliferates everywhere [...] basically simultaneously, or within a year or two.

Checked year: 2026 (podcast episode #216 recorded Dec 2025) — current/relevant. Author attribution: Mustafa Suleyman (Microsoft AI CEO) — correct; quote is from his appearance on "Moonshots with Peter Diamandis" EP #216, titled "The AGI Race Is Fake". Vote alignment: vote is "against" the statement "The first company or companies to develop AGI could gain control over a majority of economic activity" — this aligns, since Suleyman argues AGI is not a zero-sum race with a finish line and that technology/knowledge proliferates everywhere "basically simultaneously, or within a year or two", contradicting the idea that a first mover would control most economic activity. Source verification: WebFetch of the podscripts.co transcript URL returned HTTP 403, but a web search returned the verbatim transcript content from that exact URL, confirming the quote ("a race implies it's zero sum", "implies that there's a finish line", "technologies and science and knowledge proliferates everywhere... basically simultaneously"). Positive evidence the source contains the quote.
