Is it really an excuse? As the release points out, musk admitted under oath to distilling OpenAI’s models to produce xai models on an ongoing basis. Whatever you think about goose for the gander wrt IP theft, I wouldn’t voluntarily do business with a competitor who was actively and brazenly flouting my terms, would you?
It's amusingly ironic to talk about "IP theft" in the context of AI models.
Shorthand. I agree it’s hypocritical and theft isn’t the right word, but we make do with the words we have.
