Lars WirzeniusMy latest startup will be selling this data to whoever wants to buy it. I have a special price for AI companies of only 100 euros/floppy.

So for an extra fee I can provide extra floppies encoded in a Shamir secret sharing manner so that any N of M floppies will work. The customer gets to pick positive integers N and M, for a small extra fee of 2^N^M euros.
