Software IP in the times of LLMs - by Karthik S

The article discusses how large language models (LLMs) are transforming the concept of intellectual property (IP) in software development. It contrasts traditional views on IP, which focused on code, with the modern perspective that values the underlying knowledge and ideas of software creators. The author uses analogies from 'Mackenna's Gold' and the 'Mahabharata' to illustrate that hiring knowledgeable founders may be more beneficial than acquiring their code, as LLMs make it easier to translate ideas into functional software.
