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.

I am a US citizen, but I have never in my life been so disappointed with the US. The reasons are many:
1. The US people have elected a president who represent all the deadly sins. How could they do that? Are they so morally deprived?
2. Lying has been normalized. Trump made it the standard.
3. The US used to claim the non-partisan rule of law, but SCOTUS has been proven utterly corrupt & obedient to Trump.
4. The US used to boast about its checks and balances, but they don't exist. The republicans in Congress are obedient servants of one man.
5. The US used to oppose corruption, but the Trump crime family is probably the most corrupt ruling family in the world. How can SCOTUS & the republicans in Congress accept that?
6. The US used to be considered a democracy, but massive gerrymandering & voter discrimination make US elections not very democratic.
7. Reporters without Broders have rightly lowered the US to rank #64 in its sound World Press Freedom index. the US no longer has media freedom, because of extortion and oppression through defamation court cases.
8. The US used to be the security guarantee of the free world, but Trump only praises Xi Jingping, Putin, Lukashenko & Kim Jong Un.
Is the US able to extract itself from the Trump trap, in which it has fallen so deeply?

@RedEaglePatriot No. We don’t. This was obviously a secure enough location. By your logic we need a White House golf course, a White House beach side resort, and a White House Lolita island for the president to be safe.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🧵THREAD: I want you to see this clearly.

Two hours after a man with a shotgun fired shots at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, sixteen of the most prominent MAGA influencers on X all posted the same message.

The message was not "thank God the President is safe."

The message was "this is why we need the White House ballroom."

PSA: The good guys don't threaten to eradicate entire civilizations.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

A U.S. president threatens to exterminate a civilization

Genocidal language from a deranged person who should be removed from office

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

This is not ok. Invoke the 25th amendment. Impeach. Remove.

This unhinged lunatic must be removed from office.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Trump Says "A whole civilization will die tonight".

This is literally a genocide.

What the f-ck is wrong with him?

I warned you all about this man.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

It is truly extraordinary that the US president threatens a country with genocide.
Any republican congressman or cabinet member who does not act to unseat Trump is not worth any respect in the future.

During the bill's hearing, Republicans tried to claim this was about 'protecting' women from 'coercion.' Don't fall for it—they are desperate to punish abortion patients.

Absolute admiration for President Zelenskyy. The guy has balls. He went into the Oval Office and stood up to Russia’s best negotiators.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

Today, Trump showed that he cannot possibly play a serious role in any international negotiations.
Trump is simply an ignorant idiot.
Congratulations to Zelensky for exposing that clown!
