As reported by 404MEDIA, globally acclaimed public-interest websites like the Internet Archive and Wikipedia are currently grappling with twin challenges stemming from AI. On one front, AI crawlers are persistently scraping enormous volumes of their content to fuel model training. On the other hand, the AI industry's insatiable appetite for massive hard drive storage has triggered a relentless surge in hard drive prices, coupled with a constrained supply. Wikipedia, in particular, has already felt the strain, with heightened server pressure and escalating operational costs. The meteoric rise in hard drive prices has not only disrupted the functioning of these public-interest websites but has also reverberated across the wider storage market, encompassing both consumer-grade and enterprise-grade storage solutions.
