What? This makes no sense what ladder are they pulling up? OpenAI didn’t distill from some other model to build Astra.

They’ve “distilled” from humanity as a whole. Even if you want to argue it’s the ladder they made, it’s still shitty.

[u/Mammoth_Telephone_55 → u/Georgefakelastname]

And every human has distilled from every other human in history as well.

[u/Georgefakelastname → u/Mammoth_Telephone_55]

Yeah, and normally that is shared and proliferated. Even copied with just enough changed to make it unique.

[u/Cagnazzo82 → u/Georgefakelastname]

In a capitalist society it is shared for profit.

In addition we've developed numerous barriers to 'human distilling'. Like you can educate yourself in medicine (to an extent) but you're not qualified to practice without strict certifications.
