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.
JUST IN: Afroman drops a banger before the lawsuit against him goes to court Monday in Adams County, Ohio.
Afroman just released “Batteram Hymns of the Police Whistle Blower” a day before the lawsuit heads to court.
Adams County sheriffs are suing Joseph Foreman for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress for featuring them in his music videos from the night they raided and vandalized his house and allegedly stole $400.
In the new song and video, he calls the deputies out by name, packed with videos photos from the raid and some AI to make it comical.
Pretty ballsy.
Just got the names of the 7 civilians Israel murdered in a school shelter yesterday.
(Please let me know if any Western MSM writes or says their names)
The victims of the Israeli terrorist attack were from two related families, including mothers and fathers:
▪︎ Atef Ahmed Al-Niddir (father)
▪︎ Fatima Al-Najjar (mother)
▪︎ Ahmed Atef Al-Niddir (son, 4 months old)
▪︎ Fawzi Abdullah Al-Niddir (father)
▪︎ Arwa Omar Al-Niddir (mother)
▪︎ Samira Fawzi Al-Niddir (daughter)
▪︎ Sama Fawzi Al-Niddir (daughter)
I’m attaching a photo of the 4-month-old baby, one victim of Israel’s terrorism.
He’s on the floor next to his slaughtered father.
This is my beloved, my 15-year-old niece Layan.
During the genocide, she gathered children and tried to teach them—despite the roar of warplanes and Israeli missile blasts.
The murderous Israeli criminals—enemies of life—killed her.
Today Israel bombed a school turned shelter in Gaza as a wedding was being held.
An IOF tank fired on the building with 6 people murdered and dozens injured.
Israeli forces then prevented ambulance and civil defence crews from reaching the injured, children amongst them.
There is no ceasefire.
There is no peace.
Just brutal colonial oppression.

Today, a 29-day-old baby died at Nasser hospital, southern Gaza, Palestine, just two hours after arriving at the MSF- supported paediatric ward in the early hours of the morning. Despite treatment efforts, he could not be saved. According to the Ministry of Health, he died from hypothermia.
"Children are losing their lives because they lack the most basic items for survival. Babies are arriving to the hospital cold, with near-death vital signs: even our best efforts are not enough. They say the war has ended, but people are still having to fight for their lives," says Bilal Abu Saada-Nursing Team Supervisor at Nasser Hospital.
The harsh winter weather combined with the already dire living conditions is increasing health risks and MSF teams are consistently seeing high rates of respiratory infections - something which will only increase throughout winter and is particularly dangerous for children under five-years old
As Gaza is battered by heavy rains and storms, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians continue to struggle in flooded and broken makeshift tents. MSF calls on Israeli authorities to urgently allow a massive scale up of aid into the Strip.
This story has always stuck with me. The hatred is so casual, so joyful, and so beyond any human boundaries of behavior.
This isn't just a few fringe psychos acting badly. This is an entire society dedicated to hate, supremacism, and inflicting suffering on others.
In one of the greatest crimes of WW2, the Nazi invaders penned in 3.8m Soviet POWs with no shelter. Exposed to the elements, 3.8m died of exposure. Israel is now doing this to women and children. But we must not compare them to Nazis you understand, as that would be truly wicked.
