"The guy who taught himself a new art form spoke negatively of tools that circumnavigate the art form, curious." This is not a "safe" comment in an industry that is being bankrolled by AI conglomerates to incorporate their products at any level to the degree that Scorsese is propping up the Emperor's new clothes. Kane is the biggest director in the world right now because he is neither greedy nor stupid enough to need AI for film making.
I think some people aren't really understanding, it's not about corporations actually giving a fuck. They never did. It's moreso an indicator that it *used to* be seen as profitable to signal allyship, but that's just not the case anymore, which is sincerely concerning
Texas AG Ken Paxton sued Discord and is demanding mandatory government ID age verification for every user: driver's licenses, face scans, and data cross-checks before you can chat or join a server.
Framed as protecting kids, in reality, it's ending anonymous internet access one platform at a time.
Discord already had a partner-related breach exposing tens of thousands of uploaded government IDs.
This is a vicious psyop designed to dehumanize immigrants in order to lower resistance to the regime’s systematic campaign of violence, imprisonment, and deportation of our neighbors.
This is psychopathy with a federal budget. Just vile Nazi shit.
The propaganda has begun lol. The pro AI camp cannot fathom that people who are very capable of writing all on their own still exist, and that their thieving machine took from these capable people in an attempt to pretend said machine was capable of the same. It isn't
The number of AI data centers currently planned or under construction across this country are not necessary for efficiency tools or even generative AI.
It’s time to start calling them what they really are:
Surveillance Centers
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.
The new hosts of the Charlie Kirk Show said Charlie would’ve sided against Massie over the Israel stuff.
Massie said the Charlie Kirk Show is syndicated by a registered foreign agent of Israel.
This is a factually true statement, and pretending that it isn’t doesn’t do anyone any good - especially Jewish Americans, who are the ones most harmed by these dispensationalist antics.
