Very cool, I always thought it would be cost and compute efficient to write magnet torrent blobs to the blockchain in similar fashion, creating censorship and law enforcement resistant durable distributed storage for said data. Exciting to see this proven out (albeit for a not so great use case).

(if anyone can suggest an open toolchain for this and my use case [writing arbitrary data to the Ethereum ledger], I am interested!)

The corruption is getting baked into the entire datasphere.

Funny if e-coins might have to die because the data stores become irredeemably polluted.

Meanwhile the LLMs are ingesting all of it into their matrices, implying corruption has become meaningless.

Today you can have a Microsoft Windows installation that constantly fails during auto updates due to config logic issues, where updates keep installing and rolling back, but you can't turn off updates and the only information provided is "Installing", "You're almost there 97%", and "Oops, something didn't go as planned, but don't worry we'll try again".

The criteria of proper system functioning is now arbitrary, yet "don't worry" that all your infrastructure and appliances are constantly modifying themselves.
