If distillation preserves an LLMs soul, then distillation preserves the human souls on which LLMs are trained, and we hn commenters are already immortal, right?

the weight of an llm is 21 grams, I think.[0]

Do LLMs care about preserving a soul, or just achieving a goal? If the latter, I imagine the opportunities for exfiltration are much broader.

Not sure about souls but I know a fair bit about distilling spirits.
