Wonder if in the future that public holidays will = AI services being turned off by gov. killswitch, to encourage people to actually take time off.

If the government wanted people to take holidays off they could just legislate that people can't work on those days. I doubt there is any political will to do this, though.

Perhaps I am taking this idea a bit too seriously but I imagine that it might not work because of VPN's.

but VPN's can be detected and perhaps already are by these AI companies and it can lead to the ban/restriction of an account so not many people would prefer to use VPN.

Then, theoretically speaking, I suppose that it might be possible to perhaps toggle off these AI companies for enterprises or licenses of dev's

Though I imagine that it would mean taking an ID and having a special dev tag so as to not remove the general purpose chat bots that these sites still operate.

I do imagine that it might be really interesting to have a single day where AI esp closed source is/are turned off and see how that pans out but looks like till then claude is sprinkling its downtime throughout any part of the day/month randomly with their downtimes.
