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.
does iran have a right to defend itself? does palestine? does lebanon? or is it just israel and america who get to claim self defense as they engage in wars of conquest?
We’re not doing this. We’re not going to allow them to rewrite history of the president who propped up, defended and oversaw Israel committing genocide of the Palestinian ppl for over a year and half.
Absolutely the fuck not. Fuck this genocidal war criminal.
USFS turned over to a logging CEO, HQ moved to anti-Fed Govt Salt Lake City, all 10 regional offices closed, all research labs shuttered, all the science lost, public lands handed over to corporations for logging, mining, fracking. Our country is being raped, looted, stolen.
The idea of a “crime against humanity” is that wherever a genocide is occurring it is a crime against all of us.
So yes Palestine is the center of the fucking universe until the masters of the universe stop arming a genocide of it.
“Iran’s actions are putting global economic stability at risk”
Every time I see this, I know it means that the crisis is not ending anytime soon.
Diplomatically, they’re still in the pretend-world, where somehow Iran launched an illegal war on itself.
i feel so guilty for being able to live normally while being aware of the fact that there's people dying to exist. there's literal people who are being killed for nothing.
Yes, that’s a noose on his coat.
This is apartheid, plain and simple.
Our tax payer dollars have encouraged Israel to act with such impunity that they’ve legalized executing Palestinians, including children, in their custody.
We need an arms embargo now to stop this madness.
Before today, accusing the Israeli government of drinking to the death of Palestinians would have been considered antisemitic blood libel and gotten you banned from every major social media site
People need to understand that Israeli officials wearing noose pins & popping champagne to celebrate the systematic extermination of thousands of Palestinians held in Israeli torture camps is functionally no different from nazis gloating about their gas chambers.
Evil incarnate.
Listened to NPR driving home from work and they just report “1000 dead in Lebanon” like they’re reporting the weather or something. They don’t even say “killed in Lebanon by Israel” smh one thousand human beings are no longer alive by spontaneous evaporation. Nazi Public Radio.
