Sam Altman: “How Dare You Copy Our Copying Machine?”

In the grand tradition of irony, OpenAI is accusing China’s DeepSeek of “distilling” [ChatGPT](https://www.thedigitalspeaker.com/chatgpt-speaker/).

If OpenAI succeeds in blocking “distillation,” does that mean only the first pirate gets the treasure? Or are we just watching AI capitalism eat itself? What’s next—an LLM arms race over who stole what first?

🔥 Would you bet on regulation, litigation, or acceleration in AI’s future?
