AMERICAN LIFE is full of things that are billed as voluntary but turn out not to be. Tipping. Joining the local parent-teacher association. And now getting permission to release your cutting-edge artificial-intelligence model to the world.

TL;DR
- Many aspects of American life are presented as voluntary but are not.
- Examples of these pseudo-voluntary activities include tipping and joining the PTA.
- Gaining permission to release advanced AI models is also becoming a non-voluntary requirement.
