This list seems to suffer greatly from availability bias. Things to consider adding
Akamai (a.k.a., the most important internet company you've never heard off)
Other hedge funds besides Goldman Sachs. (Goldman Sachs is the most famous, that doesn't mean it's the most rational).
Other governments besides the ones you mentioned. (Practically every government has at least one intelligence agency, how much you've heard about an agency isn't a reliable predictor of how competent it is).
Availability Bias.
Guilty, but that is why I sent this question out to a wider community, so that as a group, we can get better answers to this one. I believe it is an important question and that is why i was wondering about the downvote. My guesses are not the main part of this post, the question is.
Kindly list some other hedge funds which might have some high optimization power.
D. E. Shaw is one that I can think of off the top of my head, but there are many others.
Also, what do you mean by optimization power? How likely they are to build a fooming AGI? How much power they currently or potentially have? Something else?
Digesting the points from Vladimir's comment, I would say that optimization power would have the following as criteria.
