I've already explained what "Project Exodus" was here:
To recap, Null claimed to have been working on a CP recognition program called "Project Exodus" in 2015-2016. On the website he made about this software project, Null claimed that he was going to use large amounts of CP (we can only guess where he got those from...), that he had apparently assembled and stored for this purpose, to generate fingerprints of those CP images, that he was going to store in a database and make available together with the software. He also claimed he was going to obtain new fingerprints (of new CP images) from
"trusted sources", whatever that means. He said he was going to offer the option of using the software without actually downloading the database of fingerprints, for those who were reluctant to download such a database.
AFAICT, neither the CP recognition software itself or the fingerprint database ever materialized... which leads us to question, what did Null do with all the CP he had apparently saved up for Project Exodus? Did he delete it, since he wasn't gonna use it to finish the project, or...??? Maybe Null abandoned the project because he realized he was getting into legally murky water?
I am not indulging any innuendos here, I'm just questioning the ethics of someone claiming to be working on a CP recognition program... at the same time as he was running /phile, a "pedophile containment board"... that he himself admits didn't actually manage to "contain" anything, hence Null's later shocking comment about having seen so much CP as a moderator that he could tell the children apart in those images. These things seem to be connected in my head somehow, but that's just me I guess.
I don't know what the hell Null thought he was doing here, I just thought I'd highlight "Project Exodus" since it's public information and it's relevant to the question of what Null's/KF's actual public reputation was prior to Epik's xeets and Caraballo's rexeets. It's my personal opinion that Null's reputation was already in the gutter, given that many people at the time objected to him running /phile. Maybe the Project Exodus announcement was nothing more than a promise to "do better" to stop all those "uncontainable" pedos from posting CP on his IB, that he never actually managed to carry out. Maybe Null can come out and explain what the fuck his deal was with "Project Exodus".
