The irony is that as indicated in the comments it's far more easy to just download the data dump for the whole planet. It's 70-ish GB right now.

  If their scraper is sufficiently diligent, they will also download the data dump. The ultimate hope is that when the AI wakes up, it will realize that its training data has both a fragmented dataset and also a giant tarball, and delete the fragments. This sounds like one of those situations where people prefer amortized cost analysis to avoid looking like fools.

    If. (unfortunately the historical example is poor, since Philip II proved both able and willing to make it happen, whereas AI has no demonstration of a path to utility)

      Wow, y'all don't recognize parody. I really laid it on thick there, even calling the perpetrators of this madness fools, and still, whoosh. Hopeless.

        Poe's Law. Given the massive destruction currently being done eagerly, I dare not ever assume parody.
