@Kougeru When I got flak for limewire back in the day it was copyright infringement/piracy, but when the multi-billion dollar companies do it it's "progress" and anyone against it is "anti-progress". Laws are made up, and rules don't matter if you have a fat pocketbook.

@stempera12345 @binding_broken Re-reading the last update email I take it as June we would get the first two (April and May's books) and July the other two. I dont see how else they could do it unless we get 3 in June and 1 in July which would be a waste of shipping. IMHO anyways.

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.

Those are NHL officials about to make the worst goaltender interference call you’ve ever seen

@Zepp1978 I'm interested in the series, but I feel like it will end up the same as my copies of Memory Sorrow Thorn or Way of Kings. I'll stare at them before inevitably picking a shorter read.

@PaulTassi Best I can do is 5 big studio closures and copilot integration to your consoles

@grave_robbing @counting_cosmos I always thought that was the reason for his reset. Premature awakening resulted in powers reduced/diminished. Requiring him to relearn everything.

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.

So far, AI has:

- Ruined Memory Prices
- Game Optimization due to relying more on fake frames and AI upscaling solution rather than optimizing first.
- Social Media since half of the content now is AI Slop
- Made fake movie & game leaks so easy to make that you keep seeing them everywhere (more AI slop)
- Wrongfully flag Content Creators for Spam and delete their channels
- Made every app have some useless AI slapped onto it

Why do we need this much AI for again?

@FatELarso @binding_broken Same they really need to lock these down with passwords generated the hour before live to try and minimize scalpers botting the purchases. Bet you they'll be on Ebay in a few weeks at 4x the markup

[MagusAficionado @MagusAficionado]

@binding_broken Had it in my cart hit pay and gone. I swear it botted by scalpers.

@Rennallaa After just having finished this a few weeks ago I can confidently say....he cant keep getting away with this!

[MagusAficionado @MagusAficionado]

@shipwreckshow The idea that you "need" these credit systems is a ruse to sucker folks into debt and keep them there imo. You can establish "lines of credit" with bills to satisfy banks so long you prove you pay on time. So why care about an arbitrary number? Never got a CC never will.

@binding_broken Kingdoms of Death is tearing my heart out.

@Gilgamesh3825 @binding_broken I combed over my original invite email from last year about 18 times and nowhere in it does that get started. Other tiers arent even mentioned. I'm assuming this is a recent change.

@APBear76 Literally had this happen the first WEEK after I bought my house. They complained to the city I hadn't done it yet....we were still moving in and I hadn't had a chance to buy a mower yet. Got threatened with a fine and everything.

@expedition33 This brings much wheee

@TheDragoonQueen Literally did this last night. Gave up trying to learn the fight and decided it was time to try the maelle BS. One shot his ass.
