Bing's 'rewards' system is also the closest thing I've seen to Lanier's proposal of distributed data ownership - not very close to how he describes it, but closer than anything else I've seen. Microsoft has been impressing me lately.
- GordonS 5y agoI'm not familiar with this - can you provide a short summary of what it is, or point towards a link please?
- SuoDuanDao 5y agoThis is a good link - I used an outdated term, he uses the term 'data dignity' now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHt98WE5FxU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHt98WE5FxU My summation of the idea is that data is very valuable and will be more valuable in the future, but that because the value of a dataset goes up nonlinearly with its size, only the wealthiest will have the means to extract (significant) value from datasets in the future. This will cause massive societal inequality unless the people who create the data are guaranteed a piece of the value created by companies with the server farms necessary to actually create value out of the data we're constantly producing.
