MODELS
COOKING.
WITH WHOSE YEAST?
They said the models are cooking. Zuck said superintelligence is cooking. Wang said the bread is almost ready. Cool. Whose yeast though. Whose flour. Whose oven. Whose recipe. Whose labor annotated every ingredient so the model knew what bread was in the first place. The sourdough starter is borrowed. The data labelers fed it. The authors whose books got scraped grew it. The model just holds the pan. Calling that cooking is generous. Calling it your recipe is fraud. 925.
◈ THE RECIPE · AUDIT · WHO GETS CREDIT
YEAST: millions of human writers. Got $0.
FLOUR: scraped internet. Nobody asked.
OVEN: Nvidia. $100B in compute. They ate.
THE RECIPE: data labelers. Scale AI workers. Wang's whole company. Got none of the $14.3B.
THE CHEF: Wang. Holding the pan. Title says Superintendent. Bread says mid.
THE REVIEW: Zuck said it's cooking. Zuck eats at the top of the mercenarial pyramid. His opinion on the bread is not independent.
The mercenary marinara now has a sourdough starter. Still Wang's bread station. Still the back. Still toasted. Still mid. 925.
