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.
2016 is the last year (black) people collectively remember as a good year all around. Hm I wonder what monumental event took place to change all that? Surely it must’ve been something.
This might actually be Trump's funniest moment 😂
Japanese Reporter: Why didn't you tell us before you struck Iran?
Trump: "Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" 💀🔥😂
I’m really not exaggerating here… this scene alone has somehow elevated One Piece to even new levels for me
Might be the most I’ve cried watching the show tbh, I must’ve rewatched it over 100 times last night.
