The public access to application data showcased here seems to strengthen my suspicion that Ethereum will spawn an era of machine learning innovation. It seems analogous to what happened with TCP/IP: the former lets everyone connect 1-1, while the latter lets everyone access and analyze entire application datasets. Of course it is possible to provide universal access to an application dataset with TCP/IP, but this is costly (effort, money) and incentives don't always align; organizations of today often work to prevent access to application datasets. The ethereum future, on other hand, is exciting: organizations having an incentive to share application datasets, making money with innovative analysis / applications of the datasets.
