Using Winrar and Zip to Upload Hundreds of Photos

AI Thread Summary
To upload a large number of photos as a .zip archive to a website, users can utilize tools like WinRAR, WinZip, or 7-Zip. The process typically involves highlighting the desired files, right-clicking, and selecting the "add to archive" option, where users can then choose to compress the files into a .zip format. It's important to note that the website in question only accepts .zip files, not .rar files. For those who prefer command-line options, 7-Zip and pkzip for Windows are available as alternatives. Despite these tools being effective, many users find them confusing, particularly in understanding how to create new archives versus adding to existing ones.

The website only accepts .zip archives and not .rar archives.

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
