Imagine you are in the shower one day and you come up with the sketch of a possible innovation on model architecture, however there are some fine details and tricky implementations that you need to do in order to test it out. So you fire up Claude Code and describe your idea and ask it to provide some reflection on the idea and work out some proof-of-concept code.

In this scenario, this is your idea. You aren't "training off of other closed frontier models" in a distillation sense. This is your insight, your idea, possibly gained from reading a lot of papers and built on your own experience.

How do you feel if the model refuses? Do you consider the scenario I described a violation of someone else's rights?
