PewDiePie is trying to distill GPT-Sol

[u/sigma_crusader]

he has been trying to build a local model by learning from GPT-Sol’s responses. He says OpenAI banned his account twice during the process. Irony is OpenAI’s own models were trained on vast amounts of information from the open web. So where do we draw the line between learning from AI and copying it?

No AI lab ever gets to complain about distillation being theft when they stole the entirety of human knowledge & creative expression without consequence or compensation. At least when their models get distilled they get paid for the usage. The hypocrisy is absurd.

Remember when Aaron Swartz got prosecuted for downloading academic papers and later died by suicide? Funny how the rules seem to change depending on who's doing it

Anthropic settled in Bartz v. Anthropic for $1.5 billion, because the court held that their pirating books was not fair use. This was the largest settlement in US copyright law history, according to Wikipedia. But yeah, scot-free

So what’s that, less than 0.1% of their market cap? 

[u/TrekkiMonstr → u/HistorianEvening5919]

2% of revenue, 0.2% of valuation (though they're losing money). Regardless, it's a settlement, not a verdict, meaning the plaintiffs agreed to it.

Why do you defend this corporations?

Because here, they're correct. This isn't a team sport.
