I think he’s saying let’s say I’m your competitor and I need your code and you happen to use the same llm they will provide me a copy of your code.

Yeah, which hasn't been demonstrated in practice at all.
It has. LLMs being able to one-shot any higher-order complexity is entirely dependent on it already being in the training data.
If it has been demonstrated, you're welcome to cite a paper or even study of any kind. Right now, you're just guessing. (I head an AI lab, FYI)
You could just test it for yourself if you're actually interested in finding out (assuming you are a decent programmer, but your bio suggests you have no technical expertise in the area).
I was working in machine learning before you were old enough to take programming classes.

As I said, I founded and run a AI lab. Now get over yourself.

First I never made any claims about myself or appealed to my authority, that was you. I still don't see any evidence of any technical expertise in ML or in programming anything more complicated than python scripts. Maybe you weren't aware but often on the internet people make false claims about their expertise on something. There's thousands of "Visionary leader driving ethical AI innovation and strategic growth" CEOs that know next to nothing about the actual technology.

Anyway like I said you can just test it out yourself and find out that I'm correct. Every skilled programmer already knows this and can predict what kind of complexity an LLM won't be able to handle. And anyone working on LLMs should know that they are completely dependent on their training data. The entire scaling hypothesis was based on this.
