Hopefully they get access back and someone learns enough to at least apend a few grand on some cold storage tapes.

Heck its pbs. They should have publically archived it so anyone could keep a copy. At least the old stuff.

That sounds like the vast majority of "app" developers.

These things are a casino market.

You are conflating micropayments (sufficient to pay creators) with gateway monetization, which would need to be small enough you could still use the internet (lets say thousands of pages a month) but high eough to dissuade scraper bot operators. I am not sure such a price exists. Maybe for some bot operators, but the various AI companies have more money than all regular internet users.

In other words - car usage expands to the limit because human nature is to use the resource until it gets inconvenient. The gas expands to fill the container.

Overlay networks are also feasable.

The term was useful back when we used coal gas. It stopped being useful 100 years ago.

Not going to disagree, but "web usage" is basically everything. You can literally run an entire desktop operating system from 2007 on a virtual machine emulated in JavaScript in your browser now.

If it weren't for the overwhelming harm and the insane ramblings of those pushers, we could actually rationally discuss all of the useful things that can be done with it. There are plenty - its a pretty good tool in any engineers toolbox - but there's no point in itemizing them because the much greater issue is the ai psychosis taking over our entire financial, economic, and governmental systems.

But with good legal backing, all you need is a shared database and maybe basic cryptographic signatures to prove ownership in case of malicious actors. So basically, traditional banking.

Absolutely. Every AI company has Anna's Archive in their training data already. They want to differentiate their models by having more training data than their competitors. There are way more books out there that have never been scanned than those that have.

That is the justification and not the reason. Its faster and cheaper to cut the bindings, and they would have to store the books while they are using the digital copies to comply with copyright.
