Workers are now taking home the smallest percent of America's economic output since records began in 1947.

At the same time corporate profits are now at the highest point since 1950.

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.

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

Can't raise minimum wage because it will kill jobs.

Can't raise taxes on the bourgeoisie class because it will kill jobs.

Can't ditch oil because it will kill jobs.

But when these companies replace 50% of their workforce with AI, it's "sorry, that's just the way it goes."

Pacers didn’t even have their 2026 pick heading into the NBA Finals last year. By a stroke of luck they got it back a few days prior to Haliburton getting hurt. They then flipped it for Zubac, sure, would’ve been great to have Zubac and a Top 4 pick. Nonetheless, the center hole has been filled by a top 10 center. If Mathurin doesn’t take a leap is he worth $20M-$25M off the bench? TBD. I don’t think we’ll know the winner or loser of this trade for a couple years.

This Pacers front office have done nothing but work to put together a contender the past 2 years. The core is intact. Keep the faith.

[Kevin Pritchard @PacersKev]

I'm really sorry to all our fans. I own taking this risk. Surprised it came up 5th after this year. I thought we were due some luck. But please remember - this team deserved a starting center to compete with the best teams next year. We have always been resilient.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

@AlexGoldenNBA @gracecamille_ If your looking to make this a segment my wife often reminds me when I am being unreasonable.

[Papa León XIV @Pontifex_es]

Cientos de millones de personas en todo el planeta viven sumidas en la pobreza extrema. Y, sin embargo, existen riquezas desproporcionadas que permanecen en manos de unos pocos. Es una situación injusta ante la que no podemos dejar de interrogarnos y de comprometernos para cambiar las cosas. En la base de la desigualdad no hay una falta de recursos, sino la necesidad de afrontar problemas solucionables relativos a una distribución más justa, que debe llevarse a cabo con sentido moral y honestidad.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Death is always lurking. We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth’s resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys. #Easter

keep coming back to this image and you can tell he’s so loved like someone chose those clothes and those shoes and packed his bag and gave him his bottle and kissed him goodbye and fixed his glasses and he was so cherished but the world is so cruel im so crushed

There are millions or even billions of people in this world who fundamentally do not understand that children everywhere are the same. This precious child, the tens of thousands dead in Gaza—people don’t connect them to the idea of their own child being violently killed.

[Samuel Sluis @ST_Sluis]

@AlexGoldenNBA Just one more time. 10 day and he retires a Pacer. Do it for the children who never got to see Lance play live . Think of the children @PacersKev

the internet could not replace fax machines from like 90% of medical institutions in 20 years but yeah I'm sure AI will replace all jobs in 5 months

[social chairperson 🫶🏽 @_Ymanie]

Yall keep saying “eventually ICE will…….” and in every single scenario I’ve see so far a U.S. institution has already done that to a Black person
