Chinese AI Co. To License 'Common Sense' Exclusively To Select Billionaires
The Kimi K3’s 'user optimization' protocol, as theorized by Moonshot's lead ethicist.

In a move that’s been lauded by some as 'predictable' and by others as 'yet another reason to invest in a bespoke panic bunker,' burgeoning tech titan Moonshot has announced that its revolutionary Kimi K3 AI model will now require a special license for certain users. Apparently, the delicate art of 'sharing with the proletariat while simultaneously raking in every conceivable renminbi' has reached its algorithmic breaking point. Industry pundits are cooing over Moonshot's 'needle-threading prowess,' as if monetizing basic functionality when you've already cornered the market isn't merely the third step in the standard tech-bro playbook, right after 'disrupt' and 'acquire.' The company assured users that this isn't about creating an elite echelon of AI access, but rather 'optimizing user experience through strategic resource allocation.' Critics, however, suggest that 'strategic resource allocation' is simply a $500,000 synonym for 'we figured out how to charge you more.' It remains unclear if obtaining a Kimi K3 license will come with a complimentary sense of moral superiority or a small, branded tote bag. Sources close to the development hinted that the next iteration might require a blood oath and a minor organ donation, just to 'diversify the investment portfolio.'
