It’s impossible to learn any technical topic from 70+ year old books. The public domain is small and basically zero if you want to learn anything current. A microphone and camera is fine for learning about daily life, but you cannot get “book smarts” without copyrighted media.
- cousin_it 3y agoIf you wanted to train a bomb making AI on the most up-to-date physics textbooks in existence, that'd be what, a few hundred bucks in textbooks? Doesn't look like any kind of barrier to me.

- pas 3y agoif FOSS AI folks need FOSS data, then it seems they need to recruit people to generate data. maybe it will even force them (them!) to finally sit down and make a viable Reddit alternative. but more seriously, if data becomes a bottleneck there are trivial ways to have more data. from crowdsourcing to forming a foundation getting universities and other stakeholders onboard and negotiating fees. and somewhere along the way on this spectrum there's the option to simply wait, or work on the problem of learning, on generating better training data from existing data, and so on.
