Prohibition 1926, Model Distillation 2026

Description

A dark-mode X screenshot of a tweet by 1a3orn (@1a3orn), marked as reposted by kache. Posted 1d ago, it has 19 replies, 209 reposts, 2.2K likes, and 70K views. The tweet reads: "Somehow, the US Government in both 1926 and 2026 -- 'We have to shut down illegal distillation of the most powerful spirits.'" The profile picture is a gray geometric circle. The joke is a historical pun: 1926 Prohibition raids on moonshine stills versus 2026 US policy around adversarial AI model distillation — training smaller models on frontier-model outputs — framed as shutting down the most powerful "spirits."
