I generally disagree with the claim that distilling a model is equivalent to training on freely available internet content – mostly due to investment required to turn it into a model – but piracy is another story. Pretty inexcusable.

I wish this were higher up!

They pirated my work and now they want government protection from other people doing the same.

but Dario is the good guy, distillation when done by Dario should be called innovation /s
