I’m not sure I would necessarily call YouTube a moat-creator for Google, since the content on YouTube is for all intents and purposes public data.
- dist-epoch 3y agoThere is a difference between downloading a few videos and having access to ALL of them.
- qudat 3y agoNot to mention all the metadata buried inside their internal api
- SXX 3y agoA good dataset to train on. Now if after a Zoom call collegue ask you to like their video and subscribe to them on YouTube it would look a little suspicious.
- kennyadam 3y agoA very wry observation! I wonder how fake videos will expose themselves in novel ways like this.
- ajross 3y agoSo, it's true that IP law is going to have some catch-up to do with applications to machine learning and how copyright works in that world. Nonetheless I'd be really worried if you were working on a startup whose training process started with "We'll just scrape YouTube because that is for all intents and purposes public data".
