Gergely Orosz argues on X that California's ban on noncompete agreements helped make Silicon Valley the tech industry's hub, and that without it LLMs and AI could have been delayed by years or decades or developed elsewhere.

Orosz says Silicon Valley might not be the innovation hub without the ban.

Developer Mitsuhiko agrees, calling California's liquid labour market and lack of noncompetes an enormous driver of innovation. These are the posters' own claims, and the report gives no supporting data.
