<p>Thinking about the new debate on <a href="https://daringfireball.net/linked/2026/07/20/thompson-chinese-models-distillation">AI model distillation</a>, I re-read <a href="https://www.manton.org/2024/07/08/training-cpo.html">my long-ish post from two years ago</a> about fair use. There was a lot of AI training backlash at the time. I still like the post. Fair use and open web principles are intertwined.</p>

I&rsquo;m now going to hold it indefinitely. It&rsquo;s a distraction we don&rsquo;t need, and in my attempt to make it easy to use, I didn&rsquo;t appreciate how confusing the money part of this…
