Distillation isn’t stealing the original model, though. It just uses the models to make synthetic training data to train their own thing. They aren’t stealing the model itself.
It also doesn’t seem like as big a deal as Anthropic and Open AI make it look, IMO. Them treating it like a national security issue where the company gets its models stolen from under its nose just comes across like a media company claiming that every download is a copy they would otherwise have sold at full price, and thus they have accrued trillions of dollars in damages.
I could, in theory, take a bunch of google Gemini outputs, and train a GPT-2 model on them. That doesn’t mean that I’ve recreated Gemini, nor does it mean that i’ve stolen it from Google, either.
To top it all off, it’s not like their services were abused. The companies were presumably paid appropriately for the usage.
I don’t understand how anyone can keep a straight face when they hear an AI company crying about another AI company “stealing” from them while they go before lawmakers and argue that if they weren’t allowed to steal stuff, AI wouldn’t exist… I immediately picture the Always Sunny meme “oh, did someone get addicted to crack” Crying motions.
You’re just a carbuncle of this community, poisoning it with your Trump-like rhetoric. Very little of what I saw was worth an upvote. And apparently from what I read below the pathetic whiny comment that you felt the need to tag a bunch of people in, others agree.
You think you have the truth, but all you have is a shit opinion that you can’t back up for the life of you.
You follow people for downvoting you? Even have a downvote tracker to start with? That’s a new low. Please, find a healthier hobby, this isn’t good for you as much as it is annoying to everyone else.
It’s Lemmy. Downvotes don’t matter. Get over yourself.
Edit: Looking at your comment history, and wow that’s a lot of downvotes. At that point, most of the downvotes are from you making shit takes than them brigading you.
Their models may also be based on US models.
It’ll be hard for derivative models to innovate if their host organism has died.

Plus, a lot of companies do it. Anthropic’s Claude was calling itself DeepSeek for a while.

@Photonic@lemmy.world why are you stalking me to here of all places? (Well, not just here. Very weird.)
Why are you stalking me? I never messaged you here?
Get help.
Forgot you acknowledged I can see you downvoting me?
Honestly dude, calling people out by username for downvoting you isn’t the mic drop that you think it is. It just makes you seem petty.
I figured mods might be curious about the self-appointed community vigilante. Also I am petty.
… you?
Why would I have forgotten?

what did you read in my comment here that irked you so much you felt the need to spam downvote it (and many others in different posts)?
Read the comment again. More slowly this time.
People are not “irked” by your comments. They’re just dumb.
Elaborate. Try to stay on topic!
No.
How about you fuck off mate :)

I thought downvotes were for unhelpful content. Do you disapprove of the link about data centers I posted?
Edit: anything else you want to admit to?
