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.

also “the world doesnt owe me anything” was really what i needed to read after the saddest chapter ever!!!

never have a book about being an artist made me feel intensely… disappointed about being part of the art ecosystem.

i can handle the occasional slander of the artist being at the mercy of funding and people believing our work is “not essential”…

i struggle with my practice a lot… and for a long time. i find it hard to make meaning in a country where i needed to prove myself with the outcomes, not living with intent and creatively. its always a tugowar with form and identity, ethics and funding.
