1/ LLMs seem a lot like compilers. Compilers are technically very hard to build and occupied the best minds in Computer Science in 80s and early 90s. They are also magic! And for a time, independent compiler companies like Borland were also successful.

6/ Those things matter. But they may matter less than: • Distribution • Data flywheels • Developer adoption • Workflow integration • Trust • Economics • Regulatory positioning
