Give up IP for end users and people will be pretty okay with giving up on IP for ai companies. You can't have different standards for special companies though.

> So either nobody cares about IP (at the very last in this context) and any AI company can just do whatever with data, or Chinese companies have to be held up to scrutiny.

Anthropic is currently angling for a "IP restrictions for China but not for me" la-la land scenario. If they were instead arguing for either of the choices you said, it wouldn't be hypocritical.

why should western AI companies be held to different standards than Chinese ones? Neither of them are your buddy.

They shouldn't be. But the point is, they are. OpenAI and Anthropic are paying many rights holders for access to their data (reddit, NYT, etc.).

So distillation, among other things, allows Chinese labs to indirectly benefit from these arrangements at no cost to them.

Oh really - how much are individual Redditors getting paid?
