LLMs only exist because the companies developing them are so ridiculously powerful that can completely ignore the rule of law, or if necessary even change it (as they are currently trying to do here in Europe).

"Steal all the users, steal all the music" and then lawyer up, as Eric Schmidt said at Stanford a few months ago.
YC's leadership nowadays seem to lack of any kind of vision and just follows whatever shiny tech is currently in vogue, which is a huge red flag for accelerators.
Besides, you could also say that 100% of code is generated "by software" no?

Sure, patent trolls suck, so do MAFIAA, but a world where creators have no means to subsist, where everything you do will be captured by AI corps without your permission, just to be regurgitated into a model for a profit, sucks way way more
- April 9th: "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT", then 4 hours later announce a 90 days tariff reduction, markets jump nearly 10%
