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 met David Attenborough once, at Wetherby, in 2006. I told him that I really liked his recent series on Blue Whales. He said "You're a fucking Blue Whale!" and knocked my fish and chips out of my hands before storming off.

@LeoVaradkar You had *checks notes* thirteen years in government to make these graphs look different. Thankfully only one of us teaches economics. You wouldn’t even get into my class 💁🏼‍♀️

[Sinéad O’Sullivan @SineadOS1]

Life expectancy measures wealth and demographics, not health infrastructure which is in here. Ireland has the highest bed occupancy in the OECD, 43% fewer beds than the EU average, 900,000 on waiting lists, and 75% of GP lists closed to new patients. Education attainment is high yes, but 35,000 of those graduates emigrated last year because they can't afford to live here. The graph measures what the state builds and delivers, not outcomes that succeed despite it.

[Shirts in the shed @ShirtsInTheShed]

Still one of my favourite shirt quirks.

After Yugoslavia were banned from taking part in Euro ‘92, the Adidas factory in Cork, who had made tonnes of their replica shirts, were left with lots of unwanted stock. So they were snapped up and used by lots of youth teams around Cork.

Can’t stop thinking about how beautiful Wichita Lineman is. it’s awesome that Jimmy Webb wrote a song about an electrician that ends up taking on a kind of mythic power. I really feel the aching and loneliness he describes here. Incredible stuff
