Why is it OK to train on the collective IP of humanity and call it fair use but then call the next batch distilled with negative connotations?

I did no such moral claim. I just noted that the foundation labs are working on technical hurdles to thwart distillation efforts and the cost and quality of Chinese models isn’t likely to keep up with the 6 month lag time everyone has assumed.

This is why Imaginary Property is an illusion, as everything is a derivative work, and AI is going to make that fact even clearer.

  • That's not true for literally everything.

    When eg I snap a picture of my dog, that's not derived from anything. But I still get intellectual property rights for the photograph.

I don’t follow. Fair use is a copyright defense, and nobody is suggesting distillation attacks are just a copyright violation are they?

Aren’t they alleging these other companies directly entered into a contract and violated the terms, and in cases where question, answer pairs were obtained without such agreement, it was accomplished by outright wire fraud or theft?
