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.

[Wylfċen @wylfcen]

English is full of “lexical gaps”: words that are implied to exist but don’t, because we borrowed a bunch of words from Latin but not other, related words↓

I tire of this debate, but as a teacher: It matters for young people. They need to see the words, the construction of sentences. Most of my students who cannot spell tell me they always listen to audio if they "read" at all.

Taehyung is SUCH a chaos goblin lmao

[kieran (ICEarestillinMN)❄️🍉 @undeadsangre]

to say that fic is a driver of 1st person is just another way journalists expose their own lack of research and adherence to the latest bout of sensationalism, 1st person fic is incredibly unpopular, so much so that reader insert fics are written in 2nd person.

[soy ᯓ★ @mightys0ymilk]

"a good amount of fics are written in 1st person pov" keep ao3's name out of your mouth bc WHAT are you talking about? book readers are shifting towards 1st person pov bc they don't know how to enjoy a story without self-inserting and empathy is scarce these days, not bc of ao3

[Inkfy @inkfycreates]

Again, Fanfiction is taking the heat for concepts it never established. Lol
Most fanfiction works are centered around fandoms for specific characters. The majority of fanfiction outside of self-inserts, Y/Ns, yumes, etc. are in third-person. This is a very surface level reading.

[Laura Elliott @TinyWriterLaura]

this is a good essay but fanfic isn’t driving it. strangely the vast majority of fanfic is in 3rd-person & it’s unusual to stumble across a 1st-person fic for an established ship (canon or not). even a lot of self-inserts are 3rd-person, & reader-inserts tend towards 2nd-person

[Moniza Hossain @moniza_hossain]

Not commenting on the article cus this is a phenomenon worth analysing, but I’m going to need journalists to stop talking about fanfics. Fics in first person are both uncommon and unpopular. People are much more likely not to read them because they read like self-inserts

A professor built an app in 12 hours that Meta's billion dollar team never wanted to exist.

It detects their Ray-Ban glasses nearby using Bluetooth.
Your phone vibrates: "Smart Glasses are probably nearby."

Meta's own internal memo said they'd launch facial recognition on the glasses "during a dynamic political environment" when civil rights groups would be too distracted to fight back.

Harvard students already proved it works.

They built glasses that reveal your name, phone number and home address just by looking at your face.

Meta sold 7 million pairs last year.

They look identical to normal glasses.

The LED that blinks when recording? There are tutorials to disable it.

One professor got fed up and built a counter in his spare time.

It's Free & open source with zero ads.

Detects within 50 feet outdoors. 32 feet in a crowd.

Download: search "Nearby Glasses" on Google Play

ffs that new instagram trend where you go to chat GPT and use a prompt to get a caricature of yourself and your job ‘based on everything you know about me’ do any of you have any self awareness, and do you realise how that sounds 🙃
