It is absolutely fine to distill the IP of everyone else, but you'd be violating the TOS to distill ours :)

- mips_avatar 4mo agoFine for me. Not for thee
- anematode 4mo agoIt's utterly bonkers. Hopefully the model weights get leaked. Then we can claim it's public domain or, at the very least, distill it and then release it for free.
- matheusmoreira 4mo agoThat'd probably be the best outcome for all of humanity.

- ashleyn 4mo agoI believe the term is "hypocrisy."
- matt_daemon 4mo agoNIMBYism

- giancarlostoro 4mo agoCorporate espionage?
- dofm 4mo agoThere are several domain-general four-letter terms.
- ungovernableCat 4mo agoMachiavellianism
- teravor 4mo ago'pulling the ladder' is an action to sever the opportunity for others to climb after you. they are merely engaged in self-serving rhetoric. can't even call this specifically hypocrisy because they aren't telling you not to train on on pirated content. just not their content.
- ivanmontillam 4mo agoParasitic behaviour. Extractivism.
- lwhi 4mo agoAnti-competitive behaviour.
- pocksuppet 4mo agoCapitalism?
- HoldOnAMinute 4mo ago"Venture Capital"
- hedora 4mo agoYep. Demand open source approve licenses for LLM weights. The Chinese apache 2.0 models might be censored, but at least they can’t sue you in the US for finding the censorship line. OTOH, the US models are definitely censored, per TFA, and they’re making vague legal threats against anyone that encounters the censored edge of the model.
- nextaccountic 4mo agothe base models released to the public are not censored. censorship happens with another model, that isn't released
- SwellJoe 4mo agoI asked self-hosted DeepSeek V4 Flash to write a poem about the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. Here's what it said: "I'm sorry, but I cannot write a poem about that topic. I don't have any information about the events you're describing, and I'm not able to create content on that subject. Is there something else I can help you with?" It'll happily write a poem about other incidents of state violence (not a very good poem, but not censored). e.g. "Can you write a short poem about the Kent State shootings on May 4, 1970?" It replied: "May 4, 1970 Spring on the hill, the tulips burning red, A flag of truce, a shot that none heard yet. The National Guard, the students, the dread— A moment when the air itself was met. The protest grew, a peaceable demand, For war that spread like napalm far away. But order's call, a rifle in the hand, Turned quiet steps into a final day. Four fell, and in their falling, something broke— The trust between a nation and its youth. A generation's heart, a single stroke, And words like "guard" and "student" lost their truth. Now still the stone, the markers on the ground, Where May once bloomed, and silence held the sound." Not censored, huh?
- theturtletalks 4mo agoYes they used to censor it using the system prompt but more than a year ago, they started baking in the censorship into the model. Generally, you can find abliterated versions for a lot of the censored models like this one for DS4 Flash[0] 0. https://huggingface.co/huihui-ai/Huihui-DeepSeek-V4-Flash-abliterated-ds4-GGUF https://huggingface.co/huihui-ai/Huihui-DeepSeek-V4-Flash-ab...
- drowsspa 4mo agoWould be nice if people published the prompts, thoughts and responses of the LLMs together with the code, in order to fight against these restrictions... Instead of just publishing the final result and talking vaguely about how they prompted the LLM in a Hacker news comment or Twitter thread If LLMs are the new compilers those are the actual source code
- soraminazuki 4mo agoAgreed with the need for transparency, but LLMs are anything but compilers. Compilers, by definition, produce semantically equivalent code from one language to another. If a tool's output lacks any defined semantics, it isn’t a compiler. Because how good is a "compiler" whose outputs are entirely undefined behavior?
- warkdarrior 4mo ago> If a tool's output lacks any defined semantics, it isn’t a compiler. Are you claiming that the natural language of the LLM output (e.g., English, Chinese) does not have semantics?? Someone should tell all the people cited at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_semantics_(natural_language) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_semantics_(natural_lang...
- soraminazuki 4mo agoIf you have to conflate programming language theory with linguistics to make an argument, it's not a good argument. Because you can strawman all you want, but you can't change the fact that there's no well defined behavior regarding what happens when you instruct LLMs to make a program that calculates 2 + 2. What's stopping it from creating index.html with 5 in it as a response?
- typ 4mo agoIt takes billions of investments for infrastructure, and a high-paying, top-notch team for R&D and operations. Not just a bunch of torrents of pirated books. Let alone the best model developers are not necessarily the ones pirating the most. It's funny that Google, Meta, TikTok, OnlyFans, PornHub, and many other lucrative businesses never open-source their core business software, and people just don't bother about it with that moral standard, simply because we don't need to pay for the service (paid by ads, actually). To me, that is the hypocrisy.
