The Gizmodo article on this is good.

OpenAI Claims DeepSeek Plagiarized Its Plagiarism Machine

OpenAI and Microsoft are big mad that Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has stolen their market share and, possibly, portions of their code. It’s a deeply funny claim from the company that made ChatGPT, a program it once admitted couldn’t exist without free access to all the copyrighted data in the world.

"...And they can kind of suck the knowledge out of the parent model."

Got it. Distillation is when one AI sucks off another AI. So it’s a fancy word for copying.

When I was studying machine learning a decade ago we talked a lot about how you can clone a model by training it on another model, it's well-known 101-level stuff. The way OpenAI is presenting it as something shocking is sooooooo disingenuous it's driving me crazy.

It's shifty when the foreigners do it.

So that makes two Chinese machines that fulfil their purpose by sucking off. Deepseek and the one they use to extract semen.

(yes i was reminded of that machine by the latest TF episode, i'm not a very original person)

You say that like you've never invited someone over to "copy their homework"
