The Chinese are innovating and they have no issues with copying innovations either.
- Many models are open source. Great for learning.
- Research is accessible online: https://searchthearxiv.com/?q=llm&tab=papers
- Lots of data can be downloaded, stolen, or generated by AI.
- Most benchmarks are open source. Aligning models to benchmarks is easy, i.e., cheating on the exam overfitting is easy.
- Closed-models (e.g. OpenAI) can be used (against policy) for teaching your own model (distillation) through APIs.
Information AI wants to be free. The future is AI.
AI is great for copycats, easy to copy, and impossible to prove what you copied:
