Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on AI model distillation:
“That’s called competition. You’re allowed to test somebody else’s products all you want.”

@wallstengine This is lowkey my justification for doing the 48GB 4090 mod

@wallstengine That’s such a Jensen way to put it.
If your model is public enough to test, people are going to learn from it. That’s literally the game.

@wallstengine You can disagree with Amodei and Altman's thoughts on AI. I certainly do. But they are thinking seriously about it. Huang is just a hack who throws out whatever is to his company's immediate benefit.

@wallstengine And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how real capitalism operates.
The ones trying to rig the system and win with government help? Those aren’t capitalists. They’re something else entirely.

@wallstengine Imagine using a competitor product is stealing. That's what these retarded Ai bros from America think lol. If I can steal all of your data and hard work by simply using your product as intended, your product is shit lmao.

@wallstengine @sudoraohacker If you don’t want mass distillation just kyc them and solves people from abusing your model for nefarious reasons…

@wallstengine well that is something i can agree with as someone who dislikes AI and Jensen.
if distillation is theft then what did the AI companies do by literally distilling the entire internet with or without consent lol
thats literally the same, there just was no subscription for it lol

@wallstengine @grok I don't understand how distillation works. There is literally an infinite number of questions that one could ask LLM's. It would take less time to ask a LLM to give him each weight individually. Please explain how distillation works (or doesnt)

🚫 Platform abuse in violation of ToS
✅ Reverse engineering

@wallstengine Our competitors always put in the first orders of our new hardware products to do tear downs. We did the same on theirs.

@wallstengine @TimSweeneyEpic He’s right. Ford purchased a Tesla Model Y and basically tried to reengineer it and came up with the Mach E and their cars still suck to this day.

@wallstengine But stealing people's art and codebases witchout people's consent to improve your product isn't a robbery?

@wallstengine Jensen just shrugged at distillation and called it competition. He is fine with people testing somebody else's model and learning from it.

@wallstengine Furthermore, model distillation should not be a valid reason for banning users
