Laws should make it a double-edged sword, make distillation explicitly legal.
Not much else they can do.
- overfeed 6mo ago> Laws should make it a double-edged sword, make distillation explicitly legal. Knowledge-distillation is already legal. Current case law says none of outputs of any model are protected by copyright, so one could use model outputs for whatever they want - including distillation. That is why AI companies resort to ToS clauses to block distillation and/or training competing models.
- pojzon 6mo agoIts completely 100% legal, to ask LLM to write detailed spec of any closed source project based on the code. Then ask another LLM to implement it to make it public domain. Its already proven based on previous specification laws. Hilarious as it sounds its true. We can make “any” code a public domain woth LLMs.
- bloppe 6mo agoDistillation is totally legal and I highly encourage it
- m4rtink 6mo agoMake all LLM output licensed as AGPLv3 - the license is viral, right ? ;-) Unless you can actually prove what your model has ingested & if you have the license for it in court.
