I expect the court would either reject or ignore an amicus filing at this stage in the process.
Worth noting that the court has already accepted two amicus briefs on the preliminary injunction, one by Encode Justice and the other by the Delaware AG.
To the extent that the amicus brief was about a legally peripheral issue—like AI as a GCR—it would likely be read by a law clerk (a bright recent graduate) who would tell the judge something like “This foundation submitted an amicus brief arguing that AI may go rogue and kill us all. Doesn’t seem relevant to the issues in this case.”
Although this is of course speculation, I wonder if this is the type of reaction that the Encode Justice brief (and possible future ones like it), might have received. Reading the brief I could definitely see how it might come across as kind of trying to deputize the court into a policy question, while not really hitting upon issues that are hugely relevant to the case actually in front of the court.
