Something I wonder about. When it comes to LLMs, it’s often said that the shareholders or “Mr. Market” are demanding its use. What’s the *structure* of that demand? How is it made known to CEOs? It’s sure not coming from me and my Vanguard Total Stock Market index fund. Is it rather an individualistic thing with, say, hedge fund managers?

If so: OK, sure. CEOs are responding rationally to investor pressure. But why is that particular set of investors making that particular irrational demand?
