Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Journalism is sometimes confrontational. We seek answers. If any interview subject, especially with power, do not answer what I asked, I will try to interrupt and get a more focused response. That is my job & duty. I want answers and not just talking points.

This one's personal. I've allowed myself to be bad with money. 'No one taught me' is what I tell myself to deal.

This despite going thru times where having a 'f*** off fund' could’ve been life-altering

Tsk tsk

I’m not bad with 💰. I just need to start

A few weeks ago, safety concerns erupted over a drug that me and so many women have been consuming for years. Shivani's story examines the repercussions of this mass panic. GO READ! https://t.co/egkImghtuL

About a week ago @verma_shivani12 asked me what medication (if any) I take for menstrual cramps. Immediately, I said "Oooh are you working on a Meftal Spas story?". And guess what? She was.
(And I got to make this illustration for it ✨)
