That was my take too. Their overall point wasn’t bad but the start was a complete non sequitur that made me question if I wanted to finish because it’s a bad foundation for their actual argument. 

Seems like a simple acronym to me:

Everyone Do Your Thing, Just Episode Downloads (for) Home & Great Movie Downloads. Happy Media.

They shouldn’t have had storage issues, they were never going to host images or communities. They simply were an instance that only federated with nsfw instances so all could be only porn.

The ideal would have to be some sort of AI translation. The problem is that PDF is a page layout format and EPUB is a reading format and you can’t just extract the text without understanding what parts are affected by page layout, think of reading by columns for example. And you would need to train the AI on what’s unnecessary for reading comprehension

Is this what Roman Nagel had to rig up to save Livingston’s butt?

That’s why I’m still running A/UX.

So basically if I understand correctly, AI porn of: Emma Watson - Bad Hermione Granger - A-OK

Seems potentially problematic.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

It uses OpenLibrary and Inventaire as it’s sourced apparently. I don’t know if it contributes upstream though.

I just wish it had a Calibre plugin, I tend to forget to update services like these and rely on syncing with calibre to do it for me.

As soon as it’s released, I’ll be on the public beta and am happy to help test if you’d be interested.
