Spotify Leak Rumour: 256M Songs, But Who Has 300TB Storage?
A massive alleged scrape of Spotify's library by pirate activists has sparked buzz, but downloading 300TB of music data is a logistical nightmare for most.
Pirate group Anna’s Archive claims to have extracted metadata for 256 million tracks and 86 million audio files, totaling around 300TB, as a "preservation archive" shared via torrents.
Key highlights
⦁ The release covers 99.6% of Spotify listens, sorted by popularity, with metadata already out and audio files rolling out in stages—think playlists and extras coming soon.
⦁ Reality check: Grabbing this beast requires insane storage, bandwidth, and hardware; it's not a quick binge like your next Arijit Singh playlist.
⦁ Spotify's probing the breach, blaming third-party scraping of public data plus DRM bypass for audio access—no user accounts hit yet.
⦁ Bigger picture: This challenges streaming giants' control, but raises legal red flags for downloaders amid piracy crackdowns.
⦁ For tech fans, it's a wild reminder of data scale in music—perfect for debating open access vs. artist rights.

AI Will Make Our Children Stupid
As AI tools become everyday companions for kids, they risk stunting critical thinking and creativity by doing the mental heavy lifting for them.
The article warns that over-reliance on AI for homework, problem-solving, and even basic reasoning could leave a generation unable to think independently, much like calculators diminished mental math skills.
Key highlights
⦁ AI chatbots provide instant answers, discouraging kids from grappling with complex ideas or developing perseverance in learning.
⦁ Early exposure might weaken social skills, as virtual interactions replace messy, real human connections essential for empathy and collaboration.
⦁ Without thoughtful integration, AI could widen educational gaps, benefiting those with guidance while leaving others passive consumers of tech.
⦁ Authors urge parents and educators to prioritize human-led teaching to foster genuine intelligence over algorithmic shortcuts.
⦁ Long-term, this could reshape society, producing innovative users of AI but fewer original thinkers.

AI will make our children stupid
Of all the recent signs that Western civilization is circling the drain, the most depressing is the apparent decline in IQs. The so-called Flynn Effect once showed IQs rising steadily.

Using AI Generated Code Will Make You a Bad Programmer
Relying too heavily on AI for code generation can erode core programming skills, turning devs into copy-paste experts instead of thoughtful builders.
⦁ AI tools like Copilot spit out quick fixes, but they often produce bloated, insecure code that ignores edge cases and best practices.
⦁ Over time, devs skip learning fundamentals, leading to unmaintainable projects riddled with subtle bugs from unvetted AI outputs.
⦁ It fosters laziness: Why understand algorithms when AI handles it? This hurts debugging and innovation in real-world scenarios.
⦁ Privacy risks loom large—AI ingests your code, potentially leaking proprietary logic without you realizing.
⦁ Balance is key: Use AI for boilerplate, but always review and refactor to build true expertise.
