Hate health insurance? Stop whining and do something.

1. Google "Direct primary care (DPC) doctor near me". Sign up.
2. Google "Sedera." Sign up.
3. Call your employer's HR and cancel your company plan, (maybe keep HSA if offered) and give you a raise of 50% of their cost.

@binarybits @mattyglesias @Scott_Wiener I'd say that it helpfully provided a reference that I'm genuinely far more pleased to read than the political race, OR..... other.... potential search results

[Brian Patrick Moore @otherBrianMoore]

@exfatloss @napenforcer not only that, but this is how you SHOULD get into coding; the best way

[Brian Patrick Moore @otherBrianMoore]

@binarybits this seems to roughly pattern match to lots of new politically-interested people essentially just doing "virtue-signalling", and therefore if you aren't, then (to their minds) you aren't virtuous?

@tracewoodgrains I can't take credit, they've been selling these bumper stickers for as long as I can remember:

@ben_j_todd That is in fact something worth being proud of, including on your deathbed.

@tracewoodgrains @mattyglesias I think it would help thinking about it clearly if we broke out which amounts of prop tax are essentially service fees for infrastructure, roads, etc... because you're right, people do understand subscription costs for ongoing services.

[Brian Patrick Moore @otherBrianMoore]

@alex_prompter I am very amenable to your case at a high level, but you're directly undermining it by saying nonsensical, meaningless and untrue things. Whether or not you intend it, this is acting as an argument against your side, because if this is the logic you believe, then you're wrong.

[Brian Patrick Moore @otherBrianMoore]

there are lots of things to complain about, but I think the worst is the abuse of the term "knowledge." If I read book A by person B and then write a summary of the book that person C reads (or pays for), that's not stealing (or selling) knowledge. that's not what the word means.

[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.

@petersuderman you could even FEEL where the episode breaks were supposed to be

[Brian Patrick Moore @otherBrianMoore]

@petersuderman I have never seen a movie that screamed "this was originally intended to be a 3-4 episode tv plot arc, but SOMEONE said we had to make it a movie" more than this one.
