‼️🚨THE CORRUPTION OF COMMENTARY
Gokanaru says the important takeaway of the Ethan Klein lawsuit saga is that beyond noting that he’s launching lawsuits simply to chill speech, there is a corruption in the commentary space enabling these kinds of existential threats
“I asked ChatGPT” yeah well I asked my autistic friend whose pattern recognition gives her borderline prophetic accuracy even though no one ever listens to her because she’s awkward and has bad timing and says the wrong thing and has no control over her body or volume or brain or

Capitalism: If you don't like your job, you can just get a new one.
Me: Ok, I want a new job.
Capitalism: Oh sorry, it's the time every six years where the entire economy has to collapse so rich people can loot it. have you considered begging in the street for scraps?
Looking forward to Europeans discovering the Philadelphian street food of choice for sports is served out of cardboard boxes in an acme shopping cart. #worldcup
Young people- a warning. Jelly shoes appear to be making a comeback. As a child of the late 1900s (1983), please listen when I tell you these shoes will destroy your feet. They will tear them into smelly, unrecognizable shreds and will cut into your skin like razor blades. You will think you are the exception. You are not. May my side part never cooperate again if I am lying.
@TheyCallMeDSP you always whine about making $10 max per video so what fucking difference does it make? “affluent” people don’t break down over losing pocket change, you must be really hurting for money lately huh piggy?
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.
