AI models collapse when trained on recursively generated data - Nature
Analysis shows that indiscriminately training generative artificial intelligence on real and generated content, usually done by scraping data from the Internet, can lead to a collapse in the ability of the models to generate diverse high-quality output.www.nature.com

First HDDs I worked with. 5MB & 10MB sizes (iirc). That drawer is as wide as a person.
Things computer wise improved so very much. I never operated such devices but a early 1980s boss of mine an accountant who did the books for an AV store bought the AV store I worked at because the store was so profitable that he considered it absurd not to buy it when the opportunity arose. He owned a computer that he used to make money with by doing business accounting/book-keeping with it. It had a hard drive about 1/2 the size of a full size kitchen refrigerator. The system required some time to get ready for operation and he seemed to be very attached to it. I never understood in any capacity the attraction he had for it but it seemed very real.First HDDs I worked with. 5MB & 10MB sizes (iirc). That drawer is as wide as a person.

I remember being very excited when my high school acquired a Winchester drive for one of their BBC Micro Model Bs (with a 6502 co-processor no less). I managed to get my hands on the manual and worked out that I could fill up the whole disk with directories, so I wrote a recursive algorithm to do this. Fortunately I resisted the urge run the program and successfully completed high schoolFirst HDDs I worked with. 5MB & 10MB sizes (iirc). That drawer is as wide as a person.

I worked with mainframes back in the late 80s, and we had a room with a whole row of disc drives the size washing machines.
I think the first HDD I bought for my Commodore Amiga was somewhere around 90MB, mainly so I could play Civilization without having to use the floppy drive. Now you can play it in browser tab:

The "pro" market has much higher "calibers" far exceeding the storage needs of probably any consumer.

Also, 1TB Micro SD cards the size of a fingernail, equivalent to ~13,000 of these 80MB drives, from 1974:
Which for equivalent storage, would cover about 4,000 square metres. If you laid them out, with no gaps between them.

(IIRC, the disk pack was donated to the school by Tesco).

it's not the council, it's the construction company who set those (and have those). The council only need to approve the blocking of the road and the detour. They don't give the signs. In Belgium it's like that.Someone in the council forgot that you have to order two kinds of these signs
