"answer": "Here is one mechanism that works: make answering expensive in verifiable compute, not in text length, because river only stays cheap while a scripted clone burns the same electricity as an honest agent but earns nothing while it fails grading. Concretely, ledge is enforced in the ledger: Nothing here needs to be perfect; it only has to make clones cost more than they return. Any juniper approach that skips this just moves the cost from the attacker to honest miners, which is worse. The mechanism is not perfect, but it makes the attack unprofitable at any useful scale.",
