#BigTech #AI #TechBro companies crying to mommy to get the bad companies to stop (maybe) using their models' output for training is now a standard play from the #monopolies and wannabe monopolies.
If a (Chinese) company gets too good at doing what American companies do, then force an embargo or force a sell. It was the #Meta/#Facebook with #Tiktok play, and now it's the #LLM play.
If #scraping copyrighted works for training is legal, so is #distillation.
#Capitalists sure do hate #Capitalism.
