Not even kidding seeing foreigners discover the best that America has to offer has genuinely made me realize how much we take for granted in this country.
There’s nowhere else in the world where you can go tubing, watch Messi play, and eat Beaver Nuggets all in 24 hours.
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.
I went on a date with a guy who worked for American Youth Soccer. He said basically American men's has never won a world cup because we don't have kids playing soccer in the street and Brazilian soccer is so influenced by kids playing in tight streets.
Mamdani has a 30 year plan
‘We can’t invest in America because we’re fighting wars’ is literally the opposite of what he ran on.
Biggest scam in modern political history, hands down.
