If you’re visiting for a very large sporting event & you happen to discover RANCH while you’re here… pls pack it in your CHECKED BAG on the way home.
Thank you.
Yeah this was crazy.
The Great House of Galesburg, IL definitely lived up to its name. Right when I got in the door, the house had a lot to explore. It was 11 PM at night and even though I was all alone, I checked out every single room (that could find).
Found a secret room behind a bank vault, and another in the basement. And yes, it was a little spooky 😂
The house itself is rich in history and may have served as a hiding place for freedom seekers traveling along the Underground Railroad during the mid-1800s.
My stay was great though! No bumps in the night, but I did have a few lights flickering when I was leaving in the morning…
Really cool that I was able to stay here and learn the history! What a wild surprise.
Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae…
Is this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration?
At a weed store you can say, 'I want something to help me sleep that won’t make me wonder if my back door is unlocked,' and they will take you seriously, think hard about it, and then say something like, 'Have you tried Ooga Booga Skywalker Cake?'"
was asking my husband if he cared about the baby shower theme and he was like what is that? do you mean like space or like mafia themed? and now he wont let go of the mafia idea. he says the invitations would say "welcome a new member of the family" and we could do italian food
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.
