LAION is currently a set of URLs.
That's because AI art was a mere research toy back then.
Now it has massive economic potential, do you really think downloading say 100TB of images is a big deal to any company? Less than $100000 to get an invaluable database that's safe and sound. Its also not prohibitive at all to just clone this data into a NAS array, and just literally ship the hard drives to whomever needing it.
