On Mon, wrote a post on the live-by-the-sword, die-by-the-sword nature of the current data paradigm. On Wed, there was quite a development on this front -- OpenAI came out with a statement that they have evidence that DeepSeek "used" OpenAI models in some fashion (this was faster than I expected!)

Given it seems clear that data protection technologies (such as the techniques OpenAI used to gather this evidence) will play a role in the near-term, I put together another post with a simple proposal that could reduce some of the tension in the current paradigm.
