Wait. So Google recognizes a long time ago that machine learning would be important to their business and so invests in a variety of projects to aid with that; Google 411, Google Books, etc. But because Apple either didn't have the foresight or chose not to invest in these technologies, Google should be forced to donate their data sets? To one of the richest companies in the world no less?

To one of the richest companies in the world no less? No, I’m not arguing for Apple. I don’t care – they can afford it. I, as a student, can’t afford it. You, if you wish to start such a startup, can’t afford it. And you know what? Google couldn’t do any of this on its own. Instead, they tricked people into working for Google for free. And now they try to make others pay for the work of volunteers that transcribed YouTube videos, that solved Captchas, etc. headdesk
- ttam 11y agohow exactly is it "working for google for free" when people got to host their videos for free on google's platform... there's a reason why you don't directly pay for these services, you know? > I, as a student, can’t afford it. You, if you wish to start such a startup, can’t afford it. well, if I wish to start such a startup, I would probably work on an alternative e.g. technology that could overcome the need for all that data..
