Peter Wildeford explains why distillation only helps whoever's behind: "If you are already the first place company, you can't really distill from anything better. So it's purely a catch-up mechanic." "It's kind of like when you play Mario Kart, if you're first place, the bananas attack you more often, because they're trying to help the losers have a chance to catch up. You get the bullet if you're doing really badly." @peterwildeford @AIpolicynetwork
