@Tyre_94 The fact that the cop kept going was insane. Also, that woman is awesome. Her comments from "call it a day" to "hand to god" was just brilliant...
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.
@Tyre_94 Technically park district property. Historic landmark. Plus lots of restrictions about lakefront building/ construction. Complicated Chicago politics....
The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth.
He also cancelled all of the global Ebola prevention programs. The UN has now declared Ebola outbreak a global health emergency.
Elon Musk’s dismantling of USAID has already killed more children than in Gaza and Ukraine combined.
He cut lifetimes for millions and the result is a silent massacres.
Nor should we forget his complicity in the genocide in Gaza, as well as in the war in Ukraine and the Epstein case.
I don’t understand how billionaires think. If I only had one billion dollars, I would rush to fix our world problem. Homeless, hungry, poverty, wars, climate change... etc. They can be heroes and not just billionaires. What a waste.
Harrison Ford: “Humanity is a part of nature, not above it. We need cultural change. We need to extend social justice. We need to respect and elevate the indigenous people that are being marginalized, and in many cases, killed in cold blood. The world you’re stepping into, the world my generation left you, is a real mess”
@WUTangKids That whole video is just pure comedy, if not for the fact that it was created in full honesty, it would fit perfectly as a sketch on SNL.....
Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out
@connnnobi I'm a restoration ecologist and this really resonates with me. I've always been very emotional and I've always felt a deep connection to nature and the cosmos. Even when I'm not immersed in it there is still a tug in my consciousness always pulling me close....
So begins the largest veteran and military family act of civil disobedience since the Iraq war began, occupying the Cannon building Rotunda - protesting yet another forever war with Iran which includes the genocide in Palestine, the ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon, and the potential ground operation in Cuba. Whatever violence we do overseas always comes back home and every war fought by this government is a war on the working class, which is you… we’re here until arrest or speaker Mike Johnson come out to answer for the dead and meet our demands.
If you’re an active duty service member and do not wish to join the 5th US generation fighting in a senseless self-destructive war, immoral war for the rich, we will stand with you, there is a way out. Info below:
