What is an “AI storage service”?
Does that mean you just store your info in AI weights/contexts and hope it can regenerate an approximation of what you put in?

Oh god, i know thats not possible and here come the startups to pitch it.
Well that sucks. I use Backblaze and it has saved my ass more than once.
That's not surprising with all of the data hoarders abusing the unlimited backups to store hundreds of terabytes.
How is that abuse? "Unlimited" is a pretty audacious plan to offer. Maybe Backblaze shouldn't offer something impossible.
Yeah, screw those people. I can't think of a single other reason a profit driven company would cut corners while storage prices rise due to AI companies.
Hard to say thats it if just having 2TB uploaded is enough to be considered in the top.
Especially if they've already started ignoring other cloud files in people's backups
Yeah, a few hundred outliers can really ruin it. People: have some self awareness and don’t be a douchebag.
