food and drinks consumed in a movie theater doesn’t really go into your body. it goes into your movie theater body which is separate & holy and harm-proof

Observing the hot new video trend of people eating pineapples pickled in kool-aid out of giant jars reminds me that whatever they have going on in the South is cool, but just not for me, and none of my business. Wishing them the best though!

“Jews would have deserved the holocaust if they reacted violently to it” as a talking point in defense of Israel is truly breaking new ground in right wing intellectualism

Goddamn, I Love Boosters was so damn fun. The colors, the performances, the practical effects, the dialectical materialism. Also, more people need to see it so I can see everyone's take on Lakeith Stanfield being a "soul-sucker" iykyk

it’s so fucking crazy all the time… like one thing after another, so I mostly don’t react to it and let it wash over me. But every once in a while I have these moments of clarity where I’m like damn… what the fuck.

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.

One of the reasons I think everyone is angry and insane all the time is we gotta do something about these people but we’re not going to and they know it and we know it. So instead we just writhe.
