    “While distillation is a legitimate way for companies to produce smaller, cheaper versions of their own frontier models, it’s illegal for competitors to leverage it to acquire such capabilities from other AI companies at a fraction of the time and cost that would take them if they were to develop them on their own.”

    Is this actually illegal or just against their TOS lol

      It’s illegal because they’ll sue your ass into oblivion and force you to settle before the court can actually rule on the legality of it

    You can’t copyright content not created by a human. Wouldn’t this mean it’s not IP, instead it’s at most trade secrets?

    Following that logic, if their trade secrets give themselves away, legally speaking, they are SOL

    If only Anthropic and other AI companies were even a little bit caring about the way they abusively scrape and pirate from websites of small creators that have no means to combat them, maybe I’d find it easier to sympathise.

    As far as I see it, getting pirated themselves is just karma.

    They train on my open source code without following the license, so throw them all in jail.
