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.

@united my trip is appearing in reverse order on the app. As in my return flight on June 12 appears before my outbound flight on June 8. Dates are correct, it just looks weird. Is this normal?

Clemson alum KJ Henry (Eagles' practice squad) on the sideline next to Saquon Barkley during Will Shipley's 57-yard run (which set up his first NFL TD).

Henry: "We've been working on breakaway speed since college."

Barkley: "We're gonna get it right."

Los Angeles is burning right now because of what We the People have allowed rich people to do. Here is what has happened: 1🧵

Stop believing the many layers of lies. The water to save Los Angeles from the fires is in the San Joaquin Valley and is owned primarily by Stewart and Lynda Resnick.

Seven years ago, Delta’s final 747 completed its Farewell Tour, flying the Clemson Tigers to Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport. The aircraft, the last of its type in Delta’s fleet, later ferried to Atlanta and then to the desert for retirement.
