Let’s keep in mind that the longer you use AI, the more diminished your own human-brain becomes at creating and problem-solving independently. Meaning, you’ll eventually NEED the tool the more that you rely on it in your professional and personal life.
Let’s also note that Sam Altman’s original declaration was that OpenAI was a harmless non-profit meant to create a version of ChatGPT that would benefit all of humanity, while never charging a dime. Sam specifically emphasized that the tool would be powerful and whoever wielded control of it needed to have the highest level of morality and ethics, with no personal desires for power or money. He used this same pitch to convince the geniuses of the world to build the tool for him. They believed him and agreed.
Here we are now, just 10 years later. I hope people are paying attention.
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.

El arte es la herramienta más potente para el desarrollo social, porque el arte transforma la cultura, y la cultura es el sistema operativo desde donde opera toda la sociedad, incluyendo la política.
Este año arrancó con una noticia horrorosa en Colombia (para variar): una bebé murió dentro de un carro en Valledupar, sofocada por el monóxido de carbono. Lo que viene a continuación es un 🧵del criterio machista que reina en las redacciones de algunos medios de comunicación.
Me parece muy lindo que, habiendo tantas personas en el mundo, podamos ser especiales para alguien.
Como si en el vasto bosque alguien se fijara en un árbol y decidiera regresar a verlo cada día.
Ser maduro emocionalmente es entender que existen otras personas que pueden tener perspectivas u opiniones distintas, sin necesidad de estar malintencionadas.
Hoy te cuento 10 técnicas para conciliar el sueño más rápido.
Si tardas más de 15-30 minutos en dormirte y te quedas dando vueltas en la cama, estás perdiendo horas de sueño, salud y energía.
Yo las aplico cada noche y me quedo frita en una media de cinco minutos.
Abro hilo:
Si tan solo fuéramos conscientes de lo corta que es la vida tal vez dedicaríamos lo que nos queda a hacer algo completamente diferente de lo que hacemos todos los días.
Cuando digo "no estoy de acuerdo contigo", esto no significa "te odio" o "te tengo miedo" o "eres un estúpido" o incluso "estás equivocado". Simplemente significa "no estoy de acuerdo contigo". No es tan difícil entenderlo.
