Boycotts can absolutely mean looking for an equivalent alternative somewhere else. If you think the mainstream is unsustainable, there's nothing wrong with supporting an alternative business model.
OpenAI and Anthropic have billions of dollars in outstanding debt, and neither Fable nor Sol is pulling them out of the red. As the gap between Chinese and American benchmarks closes, it seems like the safest route is to let America's frontier labs default on their debt. The absolute worst-case scenario would be nationalizing America's labs and socializing the losses from their failure to compete.
