<p>GEO blocking is not the same as blocking based on nationality. 
I'd like(?) to think someone in this decision chain realized "restricting to US nationals" meant effectively restricting it to all and chose this route knowing Antrophic would need to just pull the model (so engaging in censorship without calling it that, possibly less susceptible to court challenges).</p>

<p>no fuck that. We should definitely complain about AI written content, and we should ban anyone who wants to keep people ignorant of time wasting bs comments.<p>As a side note, the AI popularized usage of the word 'clean' to denote proper is physically revolting to me.</p>

<p>I left out what may be the most important word from title - 'passively'. No talking, no phones.
