NVIDIA's data strategy team pushed anyway; executives gave the green light within days, per internal docs cited in the lawsuit.

I don't think it is necessarily about LLMs, its about the concept of IP. You can't really have both without removing the "Large" in Large Language Model.

Its sort of like nuclear bombs. There is no practical use for them unless you are a nation state. There is no practical way to produce them unless you have a money printer and a bunch of statist scientists and engineers who want to get paid.

Yeah I've sort of had my doubts about whether AI (LLMs in particular) is ultimately a "democratizing" technology or not, precisely because for these things to be of any use, they have to ingest massive amounts of data and energy.
