Infinite Data: Store EVERY movie you have ever seen on a postage stamp

If you do not doubt this... there is something wrong with you. For anyone to claim that they can compress data down down to the size of a postage stamp is either High... which I usually am... or just completely stupid. I will tell you that right now... I will make every arguement anyone who actually knows math and science will immediately make... you do not have to say it... I will for you... This is a complete load of horseshit... I can't be right as it violates one of the most fundamental realities of data and well even thermodynamics.

In Data Science, there is a limit to how small you can shrink data and that is called the Shannon Entropy limit... or something to that effect. I just say Shannon and that's usually enough... You cannot BEAT Shannon. It's impossible... Oh and here's a weird thing but... I agree.

Now there is the Kolmogorov density or something like that... that is almost the same thing but it's more physics, if... IF... I understand it correctly. To be honest... I just am told constantly that I am violating it so I can't really begin to tell you if I am or am not. But from what I see in the equation, it's pretty much the same thing as Shannon.

So... just so you do understand... I do know exactly what laws I am breaking. All of them. Shannon and K-dog. Both of them... but here's the thing about Python. Python doesn't know you can't shrink every movie you've ever watched down to the size of a postage stamp. It doesn't know you can't represent limitless porno with just a 500 byte blob of gibberish. It has no idea that when you drop that blob of complete bullshit onto my new site... that it will blow back up into whatever weird shit you're into...

Python don't care. Nor does Rust or C or C++ or Go or anything other language... they just give you back your data from an impossibly small stamp. I hope no one believes any of this until they acutally see it... then still don't believe it... until there's just no way it can be a lie... LOL.

Infinite Data is coming... I invented it. Please don't believe it now... tell me every reason in the world why it doesn't work...

I won't respond or care... I'm too busy turning it into Infinite VRam and trying to figure out how to load my AI into it...

No backers for me as of yet... but I haven't really showed it to anyone. But... if you want a place you can launch a demo... Render is free... as is MongoDB so between the two of them you can demo most any basic system.

My plan is just to offer it free for files up to about 5mb, I think. Maybe a little more but that should get you a picture or two...

People need to believe it's possible before anyone will pay me for it...
