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.
QUICK RECAP for everyone who doesn't understand what is happening with Iran:
- Israel has openly claimed their desire to create a failed state in Iran so they could seize power over the region to expand Israel's territory
- CIA has said as recent as last year that Iran didnt have the capability to harm US citizens even if they wanted to and wouldnt for at LEAST 10 years as Barack had already secured a deal during his term to keep their nuclear program under control.
- US is admitting there is no evidence Iran wanted to attack us
- Saudi allies are on the news saying Trump has betrayed all of our Middle Eastern allies (the Gulf states) by decimating their tourism industry now and abandoning them as Iran blows up oil and gas sites everywhere in the region.
- Trump openly admitted that he wanted regime change in Iran yesterday. He has also admitted to major news sources that everyone who he wanted to take over has now been killed.
- the Strait of Hormuz is closed, which means gas and energy is about to SKYROCKET. Oil prices are trading up +10% as we speak and Financial Times is reporting gas prices will go up 50% in the coming days here.
- 150 little girls are dead because of the U.S. bombing their school.
- Americans have been abandoned in the region as they are calling into news stations saying that their neighbors from Europe are being escorted out by their governments sending planes to get them.
- None of Trump's people will speak out as news sources say they are completely panicked and have no idea what to do.
It's as chaotic as it seems.
@DomLywood There is a disproportionate impact of immigration enforcement on Black individuals and the historical and ongoing presence of anti-Black racism within the U.S. immigration system… it’s sad to see us divided :/
Here’s your funding for mental health care, your street repair, your environmental code enforcement, your bike lanes, your bus routes, your homelessness caseworkers, your housing inspectors, your parks and libraries, your pre-k, your legal aid, your tree canopy,
If you don’t understand the insane danger of this right here, you’re truly a fool. This is unconscionable. And it’s happening now. Not under Trump. Right now.
As night falls and waking up at 5 AM, flying to New York and 8 hours of street reporting non-stop catches up with me, I am about to leave this party and let these young ppl who welcomed me into their space carry on. But first, some final thoughts…
