If your candidate for governor didn’t win the GOP nomination tonight, you are welcome here. Iowans deserve a leader who lives in Iowa, who has worked for Iowans rather than for insiders, and someone that is committed to serving Iowa families. We already have more GOP donors than the GOP nominee. Join us. All Iowans - Democrats, Republicans and independents - are all welcome.
🚨 THIS IS THE ENTIRE AI INDUSTRY'S NIGHTMARE IN ONE QUOTE.
An author suing OpenAI says AI companies didn't just buy books.
They allegedly downloaded them from pirate sites.
Then, according to his claim, stripped away copyright pages and ISBN information before feeding the material into AI models.
@JeromeAdamsMD Anyone avoiding a colonoscopy bc of the prep, allow me to change your life: There are now FDA-approved prep pills called Sutab. Ask your doc for a prescription and enjoy that glorious colonoscopy nap.
@La2zarini@SarahLongwell25@LoquaciousLori They were pretty annoyed or hostile with any campaign worker who wasn’t for Bernie. Didn’t take it personally … it gave me more time to persuade the persuadable
@AriDrennen Californians are making a mistake if they pick Becerra over Steyer. I knew TS back in his 2020 presidential run … he’s genuinely a decent human being trying to do right and help others with the privilege he has. Love this vid.
@SarahLongwell25@LoquaciousLori I canvassed for Pete in IA, and folks fell into four buckets:
1. Dem: “I LUV HIM/WILL CAUCUS FOR HIM”
2. Hand-wringing Dem: “I love him but scared others won’t …”
3. Bernie bro: **shuts door in face**
4. Rep: “The Dem who lived here moved away but yeah I really like Pete 🤷♀️”
A lot of Dems in focus groups say they love Pete, but worry Americans won’t vote for a gay man. If polling starts to reflect otherwise, I could see Pete getting a lot of momentum, because he’s actually the candidate people like most when they’re not triangulating for the perceived preferences of other Americans.
@Freyy_is For me it’s the effusive praise. Suggest slamming your hand in a car door and you’ll get, “Honestly? This is rich territory, and deeply relatable. Would you like me to develop a B2B value prop with a content calendar so you can push your idea to the masses?”
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.
@ralter As a copywriter trying to eke out anything decent the Friday before a three-day weekend, reading this made my afternoon. Congrats on a banger line 🎉
