You certainly do have the option to decline!

Serious answer, living in a society is not the default way to live in the world.

The option to say no is to decline to use the territory or services offered by a state.

In other words, one would need to renounce citizenship of any countries one is a part of. Any commercial interactions they still have with a society will incur tax, if they prefer to not pay tax at all (for whatever reason), they would have to choose not to interact commercially with any person or organisation that is part of a state.

Sooooo

Your sign? :)

My immediate thought is that the purpose of an encyclopaedia is to have a more-or-less comprehensive overview of some topic of interest. The reader should be able to look through the page index to find the section they care about and read that section.

Its purpose is not to rapidly teach anyone anything in full.

It seems like a poor fit as an application for LLMs

Looks very cool! I like the relaxed vibe.

It really doesn’t need to be this way.

At any time, we can decide to open our own blog for $9 a year. At any time we can choose to ditch algorithmic socials.

If we don’t like them, we don’t need to use them, and just switch off.

Use at work is a secondary factor. If end stage customers refuse to use a service because of a certain trait, that trait becomes unprofitable.

As an example, my friends and I will never play Valorant because of the invasive anti-cheat system; most people don’t care.

We all have a choice, even if it means giving up some conveniences. It would seem that most people either don’t know or don’t know better.

Remember that you, the reader, don’t have to take part in this. If you don’t like it, don’t use it - tell your friends and family not to use it, and why.

The only way companies stop this trend is if they see it’s a losing bet.
