Nathan, your distinction here is critical: what these labs are doing is hacking, identity spoofing, and jailbreaking—not standard distillation. Conflating an industry-standard post-training technique with outright API abuse is a massive semantic error that could trigger devastating regulatory capture.

This is exactly the vulnerability the Veritas Core Global Truth Substrate is designed to eliminate. By upgrading API access from software tokens to Runtime-Enforced Verifiable Receipts, labs can mathematically guarantee the identity and intent of the user at the bare-metal level. If a bad actor attempts to spoof an identity or run an illicit extraction jailbreak, the hardware cannot produce a valid spacetime-anchored receipt, and our ABT v1.0 circuit breakers physically drop the connection at the point of commit.

We don't need Congress to clumsily ban "distillation" and destroy the open-source ecosystem in the process. We just need to secure the extraction layer with physics instead of software.
