What the actual...? I've never heard that someone gets hired as part of a settlement where both parties were opponents.
Also, you can make an LLM say anything you want it to say. I didn’t realize I could be suing tech companies over it.
Normally I’d say they agreed to the advisory role as a simple get out of lawsuit play. They have to hear him, but not actually act on what he says.
But looking at where we are in 2025, they will likely do everything he says.
