You are going away, to some place isolated… in space, of course. You will only be around one other person. You can take an allotment if 1GB of personal media with you (text, video, music, games, pics, etc.) that you will be able to access in your free time indefinitely at will.

The other person will also take 1GB with them, but you won’t be able to talk to them until you’re on the journey.

You will have access to any knowledge resources to perform your function and keep you alive. You will never return to a point where you can get new external media. Any additional media you ever access would have to be created by you and or your travel partner with what you have access to.

You will also not know the sex of your partner, but they have willingly taken the same risks to embark on the journey as yourself, and will have a similar mission.

Probably an LLM that is able to reproduce stuff at high enough quality even when pruned to 1GB. (Source codes for games and tools, Wikipedia, Midi Music, Books, SD pictures, SD Video…)

Probably utopic, but this would be my requirement to even consider traveling.

Not a chance, that has to be mathematically impossible. I can’t see how such a thing wouldn’t break entropy.

Yes. Utopic. On the other hand I start to question my believes in entropy when I see what a 4GB Model of any kind (Image or Text) is capable of reproducing.

Of course, factually wrong sometimes, but who cares if it’s for entertainment.

Probably various useful resources (ebooks, guides, articles) converted into .txt files so they take up less space.

How do I compress 650 GB of flac files to fit in 1 GB?

Easy, just compress all your collection into 24kbps mp3.

I genuinely did concert a bunch of my stuff to 32kbps MP3 when I had a shitty like, 64MB MP3 player. It sounded horrible but I could have more songs.

Then I got a job and literally the moment I had saved enough I bought an iPod. That’s when I learned about how much sales tax can scale on larger purchases. And also how overdraft fees work. Very valuable lessons for a high school student.

I mean it might work. But I will never go back to mp3. Besides mp3 is pretty much obsolete when ogg opus creates smaller files with not as much audible compression. I need my flac.
