is a gold mine*

present tense :)

Sold 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.

I 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.

And since everyone turns their own profession to pennies by uploading the know how of their craft, it will properly wreck entire industries once the AI+Robotics marriage takes off.

Video 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.

And?

This is only a problem in a dystopian shit future were we are too stupid to get around this.

Work doesn't make people free.

and yes i do absolutly believe that the pressure will be good for us as a society as we will have to rethink.

Just watch. People without purpose are dead.

People 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.
