deeply bizarre behaviour in the bookshop today. dude came in and took a picture of each bay of books. then started talking into his phone: “hey, give me a book suggestion using these images and based of off what we talked about before”.

You could argue we writers do the same. Philip Roth famously compared a writer's process to "a man who feeds his dog its own tail." While we all know Picasso's : "Great artists steal!"

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.

There was a warlock in the onsen today. He sat there mumbling in the rotenburo, glowering through the weird shapes he was making with his hands, seemingly casting spells or directing energy at another guy in a chair across the room with a towel over his head. Genuine wizbiz.

Kingsley Amis said — anonymously — that his own son's prose 'reeks of the lamp.' Martin's reply: 'Not unfair. Just wrong.'
