Step 1: Find all companies which refuses/bans to use SOTA models from irrational fear.

Step 2: Use SOTA models to copy them and crush them

Step 3: Profit.

(Yes, not every business is easily replicable, but you sure can find some)

This. And AI labs seem to be above IP / Copyright law and absolutely nothing will happen to them when they grab all the data and package it up.

Can you name a single example of a business that has been replaced by another business leveraging LLMs to copy and "crush" their software?

Pretty much any Chinese business. (Except takeouts and laundries)

Step 4, get sued because you violated an NDA or other regulation?

		I'm not talking about Claude copying. I'm talking about scouring Twitter/LinkedIn and look at posts from employees who say SOTA model is banned. Look at what the business do. Copy it using SOTA. Call their clients with 30% discount and faster turnaround and higher quality product. It is complicated, but I can get Private Equity of even VCs to fund this idea. tl;dr -- I'm actually agreeing with you. Anthropic will never copy your business model due to NDA. But there are plenty of fearmongering about they copying you and because of which you won't use their models. If their models are genuinely SOTA you can use that information to your advantage and crush scaredy-cats. Edit: The fact that these get downvoted is exactly the reason why it's easy to win
