Exactly what I was thinking.
I mean it is important that this kind of stuff is thought about when designing these but it’s going to be a whack-a-mole situation and we shouldn’t be surprised that with targeted prompting you’ll easily gaps that generated stuff like this.
Making articles out of each controversial or immoral prompt isn’t helpful at all. It’s just spam.
exactly what I was thinking. That big starting number is misleading at best.
Especially risky in fresh water, even with tight environmental controls you are going to get agriculture and ground water run off, storm overflows. A river may have good ecological health but still not be something you’d want to swim in!
Lot’s of recommendations here thank you everyone. Will take me a little bit of time to read through all the options here but there looks to be same great solutions.
Thank you very much.
Just to answer your question:
It’s quite a lot of data but not insanely important, it would be really inconvenient if I lost it but far from the end of the world. I’m looking at local backup because in the event of an entire hardware drive failure having to download all the data again over the internet would take an absolute age. Not that a cloud backup isn’t also good (I am using backblaze) in case the local backup drive also failed at the same time.
I do however have other things that are really important which I already backup with multiple levels of cloud and local storage (such as family photos, secure documents etc) - I will check out tarsnap as well though as it sounds interesting Thank you
For these particular files I do also use Backblaze, that’s definitely useful if a subset of files were lost but having to download an entire 8TB hdd worth of data would be pretty painful with Backblaze (their physical hdd shipping isn’t really a good option as I’m not US based).
In this case as the external drives were on offer I bought two of them with the intention of the second drive to be the backup. The files here aren’t really really important, but would be very annoying if I lost it all.
For my truly critical files (things like family photos, secure documents etc) I have other multiple levels of backup, both with synced cloud services and local backups just to be safe. Backups upon Backups upon Backups there! (3 - 2 - 1 and then some)
Google is one of the worst offenders, with constant effort to force you to login, sponsored links etc but it isn’t unique to them.
AI (or human) generated rubbish, optimised for SEO is making it harder and harder to find what you actually want. This isn’t entirely new, there has always been a battle but it does seem like now with the AI push they are winning and we (the users/consumers) are losing.
Thank you!

WipeOut 2097 was my first WipeOut game and I absolutely loved it. I’ve still got the soundtrack saved on Spotify for when I need a high energy boost.
