as concerns grow over a potential breach of intellectual property
Oh no, the plagiarism machine’s intellectual property was plagiarized!
The Gizmodo article on this is good.
OpenAI Claims DeepSeek Plagiarized Its Plagiarism Machine
OpenAI and Microsoft are big mad that Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has stolen their market share and, possibly, portions of their code. It’s a deeply funny claim from the company that made ChatGPT, a program it once admitted couldn’t exist without free access to all the copyrighted data in the world.
“…And they can kind of suck the knowledge out of the parent model.”
Got it. Distillation is when one AI sucks off another AI. So it’s a fancy word for copying.
When I was studying machine learning a decade ago we talked a lot about how you can clone a model by training it on another model, it’s well-known 101-level stuff. The way OpenAI is presenting it as something shocking is sooooooo disingenuous it’s driving me crazy.

Motherfucker, not on my watch!

I think there’s something wrong with your thesaurus
Capitalist pretending to like competition. Dude has to justify why they should give him a gorillion dollars when you can give a small group in China access to their technology and produce better results with a fraction of the cost
‘Scraping whatever you want, permission or no, is good and necessary.’
‘No, not like that.’
It is kind of hilarious how the Silicon Valley dweebs got their lunch eaten by people who treated LLMs as an LLM instead of thinking that they’re going to create god.
Maybe this will get all the “We are creating Skynet” drama to die down a bit.
Damn that’s crazy. Anyway it seems like in China they use different laws so don’t care
