Doom and Age of Empires creator Sandy Petersen blasts Amazon over their handling of Stargate:

"1) get handed a massively popular IP that spans 17 years of successful shows."

"2) realize it has millions of loyal fans, desperate for more. They are now in their 40s and 50s, flush with money. Eager to teach their kids & grandkids about Stargate."

"3) you could start with this. You are already three steps up the ladder to huge success. The fans will evangelize it, if you don't wreck the IP. Don't believe it? Look how the fans evangelized Battlestar Galactica after its 30 year hiatus. And the initial Dr Who reboot after 15 years."

"4) cancel the project because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans and turn them into bitter enemies."

"It's like an ancient Greek play about hubris."

Why are corporate execs like this?

It’s 1991 and you’ve just popped the TMNT VHS into the VCR and this comes on:

[Alex Prompter @alex_prompter]

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.

Love how the guys in the background instantly stopped what they were doing and took their hats off

Judd Nelson as the fire Autobot screams cool! Leonard Nimoy's character seems like a knockoff Megatron.

[King David II @WizFather_]

The duel between Brienne of Tarth and Sandor Clegane over Arya Stark in Game of Thrones isn’t heroic. It was raw, ugly, and personal.

No elegant footwork, just two warriors dragging each other through mud, rock, and pain for the custody of the stark girl.

Brienne fights for an oath, and the Hound is fighting for something he doesn’t fully understand but refuses to lose.

And when it ends, Clegane is broken, mortally wounded, and left to die, which makes his survival a miracle
