Oi @FIFAWorldCup, create a separate category for growth and let countries like India, China, Indonesia etc. play in the world cup. Also @narendramodi ji, make OCI kids eligible to represent India in football.
Thank you both very much for your attention to this matter.
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.
Arteta forced a move to Arsenal at a low point, became a key player in a a cup winning side. Returned as manager at an even lower point, fixed the culture inside the club, the relationship with the fans and has put the club at the top table of global football. Legendary stuff
That 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford. Wenger went and bought Arteta and Mertesacker. One led the academy for 9 years and the other just won us the premier league. Even when he was down, he saved us a future. Get him on the parade.
still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them
@afcbournemouth please help us fans out tomorrow by taking points off city because we shouldnโt have to go through this painful process again next Sunday.
TL;DR from the article: โIn the end it is hard to avoid the simplest conclusion: people just like hating things now. The content space must be filled.โ
Itโs only controversial because of the importance to both ends of the table and timing of the event. Otherwise itโs a routine foul no one would have talked about.
Bonkers story:
Israel built a base inside Iraq just before the war with Iran.
When Iraqi troops investigated, Israel launched air strikes against them.
