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.

Travis Steele brings up Belmont and UNCW in his post game press conference after Miami OH took down SMU.

[Matt Norlander @MattNorlander]

Miami is running the YOLO offense and it's an incredible watch.

[Mid-Major Madness @mid_madness]

Working in college athletics is insanely hard. It’s juggling 500 tasks in the time frame where you should only be able to do 5.

It’s being constantly on call for whatever. The people behind the scenes at EVERY LEVEL make this game special for players, families, and fans alike.
