Sometimes they're actually true.

Repeatedly tell people climate change is a serious problem for over half a century -> hand wringing.

Make solar panels cheap -> renewables become 99.2% of net new electricity generation in the US.

You need something that looks like the second one.

I never said it was justified, just observed that it would happen and is happening, regardless of what "AI proponents" want to happen. IP law, like many laws regarding business practices, have and always had varying regulatory environments around the world when countries find it advantageous for their economies to have those environments.

Regardless of whether or not we agree with it, adherence to our idea of IP law is not something the whole world agrees upon, even before LLMs.
