No one is more annoyed by the AI revolution than people who can actually write a sentence. Basically, having any ability to write now is suspect - you will get accused of being AI at some point. It feels like you are being accused of being a witch, of holding a type of rare magic that only the machines are now allowed to have.
This is what entitlement looks like! 🤬
There are nesting waterbirds on this pond on Hampstead Heath... there are also big 'No Swimming' signs, all being totally ignored! 🤬
Pure selfishness... 😒🤬🤬

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.
@darrenpjones That’s an obscenely low salary for a PA role in 2026. I earned more than that as a PA over 10 years ago. And you want them to work three evenings a week as well? Labour, party of the workers eh…
@carbo_al Why do you even care? How does what goes on in Wales impact Americans living in America? You’ve been whinging on about Wales for something like two days now…
8th of May. History.
Make it a bank holiday in Wales after today’s Welsh election results. Owain Glyndŵr, you’d have loved that.
Get the cans open. 🍻
Yma o Hyd! 🏴🌼
@LondonLabour@ZackPolanski Hackney resident here. Was unsure whether to vote Labour or Green today but this nonsense has helped convince me to vote Green. Any party that campaigns on smears instead of on policies and issues affecting local people loses my vote. Whoever runs this account should be fired.
