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.
Ossoff: "What those who build ballrooms and monuments for themselves, who rake in billions from foreign prices while the people's savings disappear with their hospitals, what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls. So why Fulton County? I submit to you it is because the fact Black voters were instrumental to his defeat might be more offensive to this president than the defeat itself."
#BREAKING: MY Nicolle: “I’ve not heard you this angry in a long time.”
Marc Elias: “…have we learned nothing?…has the broader legal community not leaned anything?…have people not learned that when you do this to Black voters it turns out bad for democracy for everybody? So yeah, I’m angry. I’m angry because of the appalling SILENCE that is going on right now around this case and the aftermath.”😳
