The entirety of "big data" is built on get data->???->profit.
That's what's always been behind the push for ai, the hope that these ML programs can extract gold from the ocean.
- taeric 3y agoRight, but most "big data" money is made from selling people tools to process data. Few seem to have any amazing use case that benefits from a ton of data. LLMs come to mind, but that is from a very different type of data, all told. Even medical data is only useful if you have a ton more data per person. Iris identification is just not that useful? Even in movies, the goal is to get a high value target's iris to fake an entry. But, while entertaining in movies, this is not really a thing that makes any sense at a mass level. Is it?
- marcosdumay 3y agoBig data is built on "get data -> increase sales -> profit". The entire discipline is built over the idea of extending a few well known experiences from the 90's and 00's. Almost the entire thing is bullshit, of course, but the entire pipeline was always well specified.
