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.

Please stop. I don’t want an AI summary of my Google search. I don’t want an AI summary of the text message from my friend at work. I don’t want an AI summary of the email I’m about to read. Please just stop.

The Israeli strike on a tent in Khan Younis today severed the foot of a one-month-old infant. The infant’s mother and a 6-year-old girl were also killed in the same attack. 🎥 Filmed by Ibrahim Muhareb.

Israeli soldiers raped flotilla activists How the fuck is this not every single news outlet ?

The moment Zionists massacred a team of rescue workers in a double tap. First they killed a father and his daughter, then bombed a medical team that arrived on the scene with their ambulance

At this point I’ve seen some version of the metaphor of AI as gym equipment that works out for you (so you don’t get anything out of the workout) multiple times. And I really think it’s one of the better comparisons out there. It’s simple, familiar, and people really get it.

Everyone forgot AOC did this

A new name for the working class, 'lower-value human capital'. They don't give a shit about you and your family.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

turns out the “famous marxist’s kid turns into a liberal” started out w the man himself

We should pass a law that any job interviewing process that requires more than three hours of a candidate's time is "work" under wage and hour laws and must be compensated with at least minimum wage. Interviewing has become too dehumanizing and exploitative.

Two things that will absolutely happen if there is a 24-team CFP. * Players will demand to be paid more to play an extra round of games. * Agents of some top picks will recommend they opt out rather than take on the extra injury risk. Even NFL players don’t play 5 rounds.

Good to know that double tapping aid workers is ok but you draw the line at voting 10 times.

This is what it sounds like living next to a data center. The video below was recorded at midnight, and the data center is situated next to 100s of residential homes.

So I finally looked up what’s going on, and this cruise ship kept sailing as people kept getting sick and dying on the ship. And the bodies were kept on board for weeks. We need to ban cruise ships immediately.

“St. Pauli, the Disneyland of antifascism.” MFC 1871 supporters also took a clear stance in the divisions between stands regarding Palestine. They displayed banners openly criticizing the support given to Israel by FC St. Pauli and its ultras. They then made the following statement: “For some, marketing themselves through anti-fascist values seems easier than maintaining a consistent anti-colonial stance.”
