@brhooooom100 Look up the Battle of Santiago, 1962 World Cup with the hosts Chile vs Italy. The BBC had a disclaimer warning ahead of showing the highlights! 🥊 🩸 https://t.co/EORH5fKXMP

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.

Is there a better setting for a golf course in the world. No Azaleas here, it’s daisy’s & primrose’s that naturally light up the fairways and rough. Cruit Island G.C. is special, nine holes full of adventure, a good test & so welcoming. It can be breezy. Think you’ll enjoy it.

@hotpress The quote in the article from Bob Geldof is fantastic. 👏👏

In memory of Moya Brennan, who passed away earlier today, listen back to our road trip to Donegal last summer, and hear how Clannad got their sound, inspired by the 'earthiness' of the county. | #RIP

[Declan McCole @DecMcCole]

Very sad news that Máire (Moya) Brennan of @ClannadMusic has passed away. A hauntingly beautiful voice who did so much for traditional music and her native Gaoth Dobhair, and for the Arts in Donegal.

Moya Brennan, best known as the lead singer of Grammy and BAFTA-winning group Clannad, has died aged 73

Thrilled to write this commentary in @jclinicalinvest on a great study from @KenLauLab & team @VUMChealth identifying an unexpected role for goblet cells in region specific intestinal inflammation. Yes, the title choice was inspired by my daughter’s love of @harrypotter books!

@FreddyLA7 $10,042 to “facilitate” resale of the ticket??? Pure extortion by @FIFAcom
