@em_Lazzy I'm not sure if you've noticed, but many of them don't require much evidence to be convinced of something, as long as it makes them feel good somehow.
@PanasonicDX4500 Fox News ran with that like it was a national emergency.
It was crazy to see people look for any reason to despise someone - as long as it wasn't overly about race, because they were "not at all racist". They just knew that Obama was bad news, he just had to be.
@GavinNewsom Yeah, and nothing is being done to address it. Nothing.
Meanwhile, we're running ourselves into the ground just trying to survive - while the law still applies to us.
This country is a fucking joke, and people are just giving up.
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.
@Villgecrazylady And to add to it....if someone is armed & looking to do harm - why would they try to ambush a secret service checkpoint? It makes no sense.
@tomstakes I remember watching the game, during one of the most difficult times in my life. Right before the 4th down as the Eagles broke the huddle I remember saying "It can't end like this, it can't all just end like this".
Luckily that was correct
@HealthcareREguy@StevenShortino Spoken like someone who's never known real struggle....the kind where you're on your own, without someone else's finances to catch you when you fall.
@JFMcMullen Yeah, that was so weird. And I think Baltimore knew it would happen. But it's the NFL, sometimes it's like that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember seeing many Eagles fans giving Alexander a hard time. We were pissed, & rightfully so, but still respecting humanity.
@Jarv365 Eagles coverage drives traffic for all of these platforms. But nothing does it like something that pisses off most Eagles fans. I tapped out a while ago, but amazed how many still take the bait & don't see sports media has been doing the same thing for 3 years with Jalen Hurts.
@Dizzy_3D I don't even give it my energy anymore. The past 3 years it's the same tired script of coverage. Only thing that's been learned is nothing generates traffic like getting Eagles fans all pissed off. It gets old really fast.
