And not just any video data, they specifically mentioned screen recordings for agentic computer uses. A very specific kind of video. My guess is they have a partnership with someone like Rewind.ai
Assuming my calculation is accurate, 90,000,000 hours of video using around 30 PB comes to an average bit rate of about 760k. (Hard to guess though bc I doubt they’re using up all the space they provision day1)
So my guess is either CCTV type of footage where there’s large gaps of motion / high GOP / big codec gains - or something like desktop recordings which are generally very low bit rate even though they can be high res. At that bitrate I can’t imagine it’s something like YouTube video. (Unrelated to the bitrate maybe it’s something like all older public domain videos). I would love to have an idea of what type of videos they are using (just out of curiosity)

Tell me it’s only someone _like_ Rewind and not actually them! Quoting from the Privacy page they link in their header.
> we prob don't want to have it in Europe
Best indicator as to what that is.
