No it's not, it's a cop-out. You really expect every member of society to individually stand up to Anthropic? That thing you just said is not an alternative solution - it is actually an attempt to prevent the problem from being

Then let the "owners" and repair shops ask questions, mandate accurate replies, and "we don't know" is a valid answer if and only if you actually don't know. If you are found saying "we don't know&quo

Something close enough to this already happened, at the end of 2019. So we know what the outcome of a bioweapon will be: half the population declares that the bioweapon doesn't exist, avoiding it is "woke" and then goes out a
