There’s loads of hi-res ultra HD 4k porn available. If someone professional wants to train on that it’s not hard to find. If someone wants to play a leading role in the field of AI training, then of course they invest the necessary money and don’t use the shady material from the peer-to-peer network.

Is there anything that could make the installation routine in Aurora more stable?
When there are updates for apps, I sometimes need to download them two or three times and the download or the installation afterwards doesn’t run through properly. It’s aborted too often. So updating several apps takes several attempts and a lot of time.
Anyone else got this problem with Aurora?
