China's Industrial-Scale AI Distillation Activities

+++ The OSTP is now formally concerned about industrial-scale model distillation targeting US frontier AI, with China apparently leading the charge. Turns out making something powerful and accessible has downstream security implications. Who knew. +++
"Just came across this memo from the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Main point seems to be concern around large-scale extraction of model capabilities using proxy accounts and jailbreak techniques. Basically industrialized distillation of frontier models.
Feels like this is less about ope..."
