No one is claiming to know better than Ilya. Just recognition of the fact that such a license would benefit these same individuals (or their employers) the most. I don't understand how HN can be so angry about a company that benefits from tax law (Intuit) advocating for regulation while also supporting a company that would benefit from an AI license (OpenAI) advocating for such regulation. The conflict of interest isn't even subtle. To your point, why isn't Ilya addressing the committee?

2 reasons:

1. He's too busy building the next generation of tech that HN commenters will be arguing about in a couple months' time.

2. I think Sam Altman (who is addressing the committee) and Ilya are pretty much on the same page on what LLMs do.
