The post asks whether model distillation should be treated as fair use, arguing that the issue needs a serious discussion even if the author generally leans toward openness.
- The earlier quoted point raises a harder question: if an adversary can scrape a company’s internal data, train on it, and either publish or privately use the resulting model, what legal or policy framework applies?
- The reply says distillation should generally be fair use, but stops short of claiming the issue is settled.
