alt Hacker NewsWhy on earth wouldn't you? It's clearly a forcible, aggressive, non-consensual attempt to take something. That's an attack in any other terms. It's totally fair if you approve of the attack, and want the attack to succeed. But your preference doesn't stop it from being what it is.

We could call it distillation learning
A model is teaching another here
Everyone wins

Fine, then let's refer to the initial data collection/training as 'compilation attacks' going forward.
...or maybe we stop defaulting to adversarial paradigms for every conceivable situation.

Distillers are not taking anything, they are just making their model learn from better ones - isn't that the whole AI training doesn't violate IP argument?
They just aren't using the tool in compliance with the terms of service. Anthropic could ban them or take them to court maybe. Not an attack still.
