If I understand correctly the basic structure hasn't changed since Transformers were invented. It's just gotten bigger and the models have had better training and also some optimizations. I don't think this one has optimizations.
In this case, being distilled is sort of existential to them. The false positives would just be losing some revenue (depending if profitable, not even losing profit).
I haven't seen any money, have you? Until they pay everyone or release weights theres really no change. Also they're doing this after they've already stolen. Not negotiated before
On the one hand they talk it up as world ending and on the other hand they can't manage bot accounts on their own service.
I want to hear how this can be rationalised.
From the article "every layer of control frontier US AI companies have added (geoblocking, phone verification, credit card requirements, and now live biometric KYC checks) has produced a corresponding layer of evasion infrastructure".
