One of the more painful ironies of modern life right now is that the people who hate AI the most, the ones who are in fact posting about that nonstop, are doing just a bang-up job training the AI with every outraged word that they type.

I believe I have a new favorite moment in AI.

It’s right now.

Watching—and being one of the millions jumping on over to Zuck’s new Twitter knockoff Threads while celebrities and brands run hot potato style to hippity hoppity scoop up whatever market share there is to gather—while Elon looks on like a jealous boyfriend.

Does he miss us? No. Not really. He misses our eyeballs for advertisers. He misses the training data we provide that is so valuable that he recently revoked OpenAI’s access that they were paying $2 million for to use it to train their LLMs.

No one wants to hear any of this, of course. It’s not very sexy is it? But maybe someday years from now we’ll look back and wonder what the hell happened.

Well, if you look hard enough, you can figure it out right now.

Here’s my post trying to string it together, with a critical assist from the most vital underground tech message board in the industry.
