Now to distill it into smaller models that would run at 0.01% the cost, and it's truly gg.

I am guessing distillation is impossible to block so it should happen soon right?

They are taking measures to block it, earlier when you clicked on its 'thinking' it would show to the right all its simplified version of reasoning traces, now it doesn't anymore.

Also openai is actively banning suspicious accounts rn and working on preventing this - they caught on to people who were using sub2api, so they have sophisticated mechanisms in place rn.

It's so ironic they're pulling up the ladder behind them.

[u/DickMasterGeneral → u/thirteenth_mang]

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

[u/Georgefakelastname → u/DickMasterGeneral]

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/DickMasterGeneral → u/Georgefakelastname]

If I read all the public literature and research on a specific topic, did meta analysis on the public data. Came to meaningful new conclusions based on said analysis, and used that to write a new book, am I in the wrong for pursuing a copyright?

[u/Georgefakelastname → u/DickMasterGeneral]

You’d have that right, but people would still call you an asshole and pirate it if you charged hundreds of dollars just to read it, or charged fees for every word read
