EX-GOOGLE CEO SAYS SUCCESSFUL AI STARTUPS CAN STEAL IP AND HIRE LAWYERS TO ‘CLEAN UP THE MESS'

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt advised students to create a clone TikTok app with copied resources if it was ever banned during a recent talk at Stanford when talking about a future world in which AI agents can do complex tasks on behalf of humans. The example was used to drive a point that Silicon Valley entrepreneurs should create things as fast as possible and use lawyers to clean the mess up if they become successful. He added that it doesn't matter if content is stolen if nobody is using the product. Schmidt reportedly requested the removal of the video of the talk, which has been taken down from YouTube.
