YouTube is going to be a gold mine for training data.
- hrdwdmrbl 2y agois a gold mine* present tense :)
- mtillman 2y agoSold a company in 2014 that categorized 65M videos a month using a number of techniques such as object detection (soccer ball), scene classification (soccer pitch), and face recognition (Ronaldo). Used YouTube as a training ground. Marketed as ad words for video. Way ahead of its time. Did $60M in revenue the year after we sold it. Face. Palm.
- bingleboy 2y agoI built something that used surveillance cams in warehouses in 2018 and almost got 25m for a subset of what our company did. I took those same ideas to some long-term connects and we turned it into something worth much more that to us. Be glad about where you are knowing that you won't have to do as much as others to pay down your sins in this industry.

- devwastaken 2y agoVideo describing practices does not translate to AI performing those practices. Creating a community of knowledge progresses that knowledge. Sitting on it only benefits few and removes the market. Without people sharing their work on YouTube their own market would be far less.

- hwbunny 2y agoJust watch. People without purpose are dead.
- Richyrichy3234 2y agoPeople are forced to make work their purpose because we still need to do it as our primary activity. Plenty of people spend their time different. Plenty of people will learn how to do something else if they actually don't have to work.
