@Ecolin131671@Duckator_ Always worked like this yeah but for tokon because of the anticheat and bad optimisation so many people couldnt run the game on their pc so they just canceled the purchase on steam so i don't think it worked well for Sony this time
JIHYO says that TWICE will be taking a break after the final concert in Seoul:
"For the past 11 years, as TWICE and as a solo artist, we barely had any breaks, so I want to spend the rest of this year relaxing and taking a bit of a break. This break is really something we need in order to work better in the future, so I hope our fans understand."
Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.
The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free.
AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.
And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.
We built the library.
Someone else started charging admission.
Lets be fr
Kanto is a work of art from indie devs
Johto is beautiful in every corner
Hoenn is politically incredible
Sinnoh is why Pokemon still exists
Unova is bold
Kalos is even bolder
Alola is perfectly designed
Galar is incredible hype
Paldea's story is the best we've had
🏆 #PokemonChampions is coming to iOS and Android on June 17! ✨
Begin your journey, take the Battle Arena with you anywhere, and compete to become a Champion!
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.
