if AI is only as good as your data set, what is OS AI, and does it matter? Serious question I've been pondering a lot.

raised same issue about the data. It's same as any other data analysis tools that get open sourced, no? Useless w/o BYOD(ata).

I wonder if AI isn't an interesting cat where incumbents have an extreme advantage. Or is this nothing new?

If incumbents can figure out how to use "we have the MFing data" to their recruiting advantage, they will win win win

@pt

so, what are the good bets in AI if all the value is in the data? cc

YesGraph has a data bet. Our plan is to get data from companies at moderate scale but without know-how to leverage

we're already at larger scale than vast majority of companies

and the reason it'll work is focus. How we use the data is unique and outside the focus of any company on our platform

I should add that the internet is huge and full of data for the taking.

pub data is interesting, but not obv they level the playing field. Capital req'd is also interesting. It's $$$$.

The value of big datasets seems to be one of the factors favoring the big incumbents. Still plenty of opportunity though.

seems like AI doesn't fit the "it's cheap for 2 people to start a startup"narrative that broadly applies.
