I was expecting to be pessimistic, but Google actually releases the datasets under a permissive license (CC-By 4.0). Awesome! https://research.google/tools/datasets/open-images-extended-... https://github.com/google-research-datasets/hiertext

I was expecting to be pessimistic, and I am, because I thought that datasets that actually matter probably won't be released and there is no guarantee that this trend will continue. Please don't trust the giant.

Yeah, most of the 'Google Research Datasets' github account has super boring datasets. There's no way they'll help out with the actually interesting datasets (this is just PR).

You truly are the product. Don’t feed the FAANG.

None of the FAANG companies are cartel or forcing any users to use their products at gun point. Don't like their products then don't use it. Use alternative. They built one of the best products hence most of the world is using it.

Man, you are all over this defending the behemoths. Can I see your GOGL tattoo??

How naive can people be? Help Google build AI? Google is very profitable business. They should pay whoever works for them.

I can do some free work for wikipedia, osm or the like. But not for Google.

The app was initially released 2016, with the last update half a year ago. Did anything happen to get this posted?

If not, maybe add a (2016).

Not true. In many European cities you cannot rent a bike without being a customer of either Apple or being the product of Google.

Even buying public transport tickets gets hard without the app, which of course is not on F-Droid. Often you pay more on other channels.

Is strange that they don't pay contributors for this at all. Google frequently pay me in Play store credit via Google Rewards to answer questions about places I've been and videos I've watched.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not really, you can't get child labor on MTurk (officially). But hey, you get badges, and you help the community by providing them training data they'll lock up in a server and use to monopolize more sectors of the economy. Everyone wins when google can do better sentiment analysis on your non-english emails.

Quoted post unavailable.

Neither did you. They release 3 datasets partially out of dozens

If Google asked me to help with solving world hunger, I wouldn’t do it. Helped them enough with my data, and my lost faith in humanity when they were complicit in ruining the web.
