AkshatJ27··on Web3.storage – Unlimited, free, decentralized data storage on IPFS
I feel the service is somehow exploiting filecoin providers, it says they (the filecoin nodes) have a higher incentive to pin web3.storage files, rather than other files. However, its still not clear who is paying for the incentive.

> Because you're sharing directly from your device, it's important to keep this page open until the recipient downloads the files. If you're sharing with a group, others in the group can help you co-host the files by also keeping the share page open in their browsers.

You still need a pinning service to keep your files online, even after you close the page.

I agree, certainly wouldn't use it for storing anything private. I wonder how effective IPFS would be, compared to something like torrents, for piracy.

I agree, while i do not think AI is at the level where it can replace developers, and i doubt it will ever be, I am sure that AI can increase productivity and make development easier, like copilot
