"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Realistically, it would likely be broken up into smaller chunks. For instance, each console could be broken up and sorted by name, if it’s too large for a single torrent.

Individuals may not be able to afford the 390TB of storage for the entire thing… But plenty of people could spare a few MB to seed the “NES” section, or 398GB to seed the “PSX” section. How do I know? Because I have 398GB of PSX games being seeded on my NAS. It’s the entire PSX collection. And since no more PSX games are getting released, the torrent has been alive for literal years now. From that original 398GB, I have a ratio of over 300. That’s almost 120TB of upload traffic, purely from a PSX torrent.

And for the more modern systems, (which take exponentially more storage), those could be broken apart into more manageable chunks. For instance, the entire Xbox 360 collection is anywhere from 7-21TB, depending on how it is stored. Maybe the 7TB would be palatable, but it could even be broken apart further. For instance, maybe it could be broken into A-G, H-M, and N-Z (or whatever most evenly splits the collection into three separate torrents) to encourage more seeders.
