What is an “AI storage service”?
Does that mean you just store your info in AI weights/contexts and hope it can regenerate an approximation of what you put in?
I assume it's where the AI companies store the stolen data used to train their LLMs.
It's s3 compatible storage (b2) you sell to companies using AI for twice as much.
b2 storage is $6/Tb/mo, AI storage is b2 storage at $15/Tb/mo.

The AI storage offers unlimited free egress, whereas the regular storage does not.
It’s like selling special gold shovels during a gold rush that are better at shoveling gold.
It's like the wedding or funeral tax, where all items cost extra for no reason, other than exploitation.
And white components. And baby food.
And luxury car parts, which are more often than not from ordinary cars.
My VW is running Bugatti parts, for example.
Oh god, i know thats not possible and here come the startups to pitch it.
