  I turned to Academic Torrents, a platform widely used by researchers to share datasets. There, I downloaded a large NSFW dataset often cited in AI research. I unzipped the file in my Google Drive to begin preprocessing. A few days later, my entire Google account was banned — without warning, without explanation, and without any clear path to appeal.
Why did you think this was a good idea?

That's a cool project, OP.

I'd like to share other historic projects which I had a hard time searching for and they seem to be gone from most search engines (at the time I searched for them anyway):

  https://archives.darenet.org/ (not available)

  https://arsiv.behroozwolf.net/index.php (it seems to be working)
Those are software repositories for a lot of IRC related projects from clients to servers and bots, etc.

Cheers.

  Too much gameable measurement on the tax end, and too much unnecessary bureaucracy both to support that on the tax end and the retraining end;
I'm not sure if I agree with this because, after all, AI systems are going to be taking care of this so... What's bureaucracy for us is a couple trillion cycles on a CPU/GPU on a machine somewhere in a data center.

An agent to take care of the bureaucracy, another to retrain someone for a new job, etc.

And, yes, the long-term plan would be to fund UBI at some point; because if these systems become so capable and so efficient might as well let them do everything for us while we humans enjoy leisure time.

Nothing but we should most definitely progressively tax these systems based on a percentage of the difference between the least efficient model[0] and the most efficient human. (Assuming, of course, that the least efficient model is more efficient than the most efficient human.) Use those funds to retrain people who lost their jobs for the mythical jobs every manager/CEO keeps talking about.

Suppose the most efficient human produces $250k/y worth of labour and the least efficient model produces $1M/y worth of labour. So $1M - $250k = $750k. %1 of $750k = $7.5k. Now multiply that by the number of companies/people who bought these services.

Models are assumed to a) become more efficient and b) be competent on several and different types of jobs.

This would also include robots but those systems aren't yet ripe, IMO. I'd let them marinate a little further before taxing them.

Apply this tax to very large companies that produce/sell these systems.

[0] - This incentivizes companies to keep investing in more efficient and capable models/systems.

  Gaming should be fun full stop
Wholeheartedly agree.
  and this idea that like games need to feature attractive women to pander to men.
This works both ways. It shouldn't pander to anything other than the people writing the game. Let creatives be creatives. After that let the free market decide what is and isn't fun to it.

Reminder that shred(1) doesn't work on journaled filesystems.[0][1][2]

  CAUTION: shred assumes the file system and hardware overwrite data
  in place.  Although this is common, many platforms operate
  otherwise.  Also, backups and mirrors may contain unremovable
  copies that will let a shredded file be recovered later.  See the
  GNU coreutils manual for details.

  Google is the greatest source of traffic to publishers’ websites, because when people search for information, the results often direct them to news articles. Publishers have balked in recent years at payment offers from Google, arguing their content is worth more than Google has been willing to pay.
  Google's experimentation with AI extends beyond ad sales, encompassing its customer support service as well. The integration of AI in customer support is expected to directly influence the human-centric aspects of the company's operations.
