I think the biggest problem the art project will face is that nobody actually wants 19.5TB of not-terribly-good art.

If there wasn't a fun speculative element, then most of the artists would have trouble getting anyone to download their stuff even for free (just like most game devs struggle to get anyone to play their games - even when they're pretty good).

So really, if this art project does succeed it could be an interesting new distribution channel!

Actually, I was about to rent a big server and download the torrent as I wanted to build a reverse image search for NFTs. But since it's not 19TB, I won't do it.

While that's a lot for most home users it's a drop in the ocean of cloud storage and search data processing

[timdaub]

yeah but I'm a single person so 19 TB is kind a big deal for me. But sure corps handle much more.

You don't count that low?
