"My own complaint" is one on which the success of autonomous vehicles hinges. It's not an arbitrary critique at all -- all these things will be misclassified and mistreated unless explicitly included in the training process (until ML gets smarter). The fat tail strikes again.
"Benefiting the world" sounds great except we're embedded in a capitalist system for which the net gain on utility from this action is negative -- the super-corporations capitalizing on my unpaid work will further contribute to the economic inequality that beleaguers everyone who works for a wage.
