Andrew Ng-style distillation joke turns model reuse into a theft punchline
pmddomingos · x · 2026-07-21
A tongue-in-cheek post from an AI pioneer jokes that the “killer app” of distillation turned out to be theft. The line riffs on the fact that techniques and ideas originally meant to compress or transfer knowledge have become part of a broader conversation about model copying, imitation, and IP leakage in the AI era.
It is more a sharp industry joke than a substantive announcement, but it lands because the distillation metaphor has become central to how people talk about model reuse and competitive advantage.
