I doubt that an AI could do anything with these that legions of scammers haven't already figured out how to do - after all, it's not like AI set up this distillation setup in the first place :)
From my POV it looks like you guys tried "They're distilling us! Very immoral!", saw that and nobody cares, and now you're trying to run the more emotionally impactful "They're distilling us... with your grandma's stolen credit card! They're stealing from your grandma!!"
Meanwhile manufacturing isn't even really alive anymore to tell the tale of how things work over there.
The way I see it, automated systems should basicially have access to the financial system anyways. This is some of the appeal of cryptocurrency.
Sybil resistance built into the traditional financial system (for example firewalling based on residential IP, requiring banking apps, etc.) is a massive annoyance that can obviously by circumvented at scale.
It doesn't even need to be decentralized: GNU Taler is one example that gets posted here a lot.
Any attempt to retrofit the old system of banking will only make it harder to replace by a system with better underlying assumptions.
I hope we chose the latter. Biometrics are creepy.
Spitballing random pr pieces from companies about to IPO is not helpful to anyone, fyi.
You can just use logic to come to the same conclusion. The Chinese labs have a fraction of compute and data. The simplest explanation is distillation.
But I've slowly come to realize that AI+"dark resources"(scare quotes)=something bad! And this is imminent (maybe I'm naive and it is already ubiquitous).
We see here, with Kimi, that there's growing traction with the idea of eliminating types of training to avoid evil. I'm skeptical of that.

I have a feeling you don't actually know anything about ML
