I don’t think the existence of something bad and needing to deal with that are mutually exclusive. Of course one should tackle the root of a problem. But you still need to bail water while the boat has a hole in it.

    But licensing is trying to remove the water without doing anything about the hole. Or, best case situation, saying "we will fix the hole when the water is unmanageable, but for now we'll just try to empty it faster than it fills".

    If you ban LLMs, the problem will disappear. It's not like you can really hide a datacenter so easily, or the size of the data required. Anything less than that will do nothing
