This is incorrect. It's trivial to reverse engineer and use the imessage API and there's third party services which will give you access to it.

Crunchbase is $100/month, it's probably the cheapest of all the products of the market. Should be easily affordable by the average startup founder

The tweet + approach is probably sufficient to bring a lawsuit and get into discovery and then it'll come down to if there's a smoking gun documents (e.g. internal emails comparing the voice to Her, etc.)

It's likely that someone internally must have noticed the similarity so there's like some kind of comms around it so it very much will depend on what was written in those conversations.

You can time the election for when you think it would be optimal for you. (e.g. a summer month will mean students will be at their parents which swings university cities more conservative)

Following IBM's acquisition of Hashicorp the moves seems unsurprising, they wouldn't want to be beholden to a competitor.

We'll inevitably see others large companies follow suite - it was one thing when hashicorp was independent tech company but it's very different when it's owned by a direct competitor.

I think https://vespa.ai/ has the right approach in this space by focusing on being hybrid - vectors alone aren't great for production use cases, it's the combining of vectors+text that lets you use ranking to get meaningful result.

(I'm an investor so I'm biased; but it's also the reason why I invested)

The messiness of the real-world unfortunately doesn't play well with ambiguity in licences :)

It'll be a headache for every large company which now has to send the licence to their legal teams who have to ask these kind of questions (another interesting one is "can contractors touch our terraform setup?") - in fairness to Hashicorp they've tried to address some of these issues in their FAQ, but the FAQ isn't legally binding so legal teams have to go on what's actually written in the licence.

Is the financial institution made up of separate legal entities which bill each other for services, and does one of those entities provide tech infra for the other legal entities?

Ask your VCs/angels for help, this is the kind of thing they can definitely help with.

(Speaking from experience - one of our portfolio companies had a similar challenge and we used our network to get to one of the execs of the vendor involved)
