HN Discussion:
  • Anthropic is hypocritical for complaining about copying after training on pirated/copyrighted content
  • Distillation from model outputs is common industry practice and likely legal
  • Explains the technical mechanism of how Chinese labs obtain Claude outputs via resellers
  • All AI labs borrow from each other; this is unavoidable without heavy surveillance
  • Speculates about future implications like weight theft enabling easier distillation
