The author almost completely fails to follow up on the implications of this, which are of course something like: LLMs will never be creative. Only when they've ingested a huge amount of human-generated code/text/proofs/etc will they be able to surprise anyone with output that seems creative to all of the user population.
The headline at least smears responsibility out over "America". It's pretty clear this is RFJ doing things by executive fiat. Why are news media fudging on assigning responsibility?

This is analogous to the "freedom of speech on campus" moral panics of a few years ago. Wikipedia isn't under the thumb of an oligarch, so use the language of free speech in bad faith to whip up a general willingness to destroy it.
This one is good, actually, a natural experiment, as economists say. We get to see if billionaires leaving a state or municipality cause financial problems, or if there are unforseen consequences, like NYC's congestion taxes.
