it actually creates symetry for risk/reward, but it does incentivize giving skynet contracts with argument that people get 50% of the proceeds from skynet abuse.

    Doesn't really create symmetry for risk/reward, because, for example, the corporate leadership decides how much to pay out to investors versus how much they spend including a lot of their own compensation.

    So they can carve out the reward as they see fit, but if things go bad they can lean on the public investment as leverage to get bailouts.
