I would also love to but extremely unlikely, crowdsource bureaucracy is a nightmare and he won't have problems raising that much.

#5I look at announcements like this, and past ones about Ng, and I always marvel at how things have gone since I took and completed his 2011 ML Class...
That was one helluva course, challenging and interesting, and fun all at the same time (and so much "concretely" - lol).
From what I understand, that course is still available thru Coursera (which Ng booted up after the ML Class experiment; Udacity was Thrun's contribution after his and Norvig's AI Class, which ran at the same time in 2011).

Looks like Data sets are going to be the moat of AI companies.

Definitely - without the proper data and large amounts of it, things are pretty dead in the water for research, let alone building actual products.
More and more varied datasets are needed for this (but understandably they can be seen as valuable on their own, so reluctance to share is understandable - at least from a business perspective).

Definitely an echo of what I just commented (didn't see your comment until after I posted mine); data sets and the collection of them already are seen as very valuable, and I would imagine this would only become more true as time passes, if we don't hit another winter, that is...

#9I'm curious to the opinions of people here on companies collecting data to build data sets vs. privacy.

#10Offtopic, but this amp page is the cleanest page I've ever seen.
I would love to just use the amp version for all TechCrunch pages. Anyone in the mood to make a chrome extension? (I'm on desktop, and the results are still clean without adblocker)
