This is why I have been pessimistic about LLM "reverse engineering". The big LLM companies will just do the equivalent of YouTube/Twitch taking down your video/stream when they detect copyrighted music or whatever.
Big companies can slurp up the commons, but you won't be able to return the favor.
EDIT: seems I am spreading misinformation in this specific case. That person was suspended for a *different reason* than reverse engineering. I'm still pessimistic about using frontier models to reverse engineer but the scenario I explained above hasn't actually happened yet, as far as I know.
@dthompson the ability to do this is certainly a feature for them nevertheless though. reverse engineering is a powerful skill and if anything, being able to usurp it from people who might have been able to learn to do it organically and withhold it when it's convenient is certainly a capability they would like to have
