EVERY ‘good’ thing starts out with ‘good’ intentions. And while it is small scale remains good. But as it scales up, it becomes evil. Even google, remember their motto? Now harvesting data like human bodies for its matrix. Even Facebook was a blast when it started, but now it’s a merch store. Even the internet was beautiful when it started, now it’s a sewer. It seems the only thing that can scale well without getting perverted is deep learning. But as long as humans are in that loop, it will fail. Cloud computing is a mistake. Bring back the pc, you know, ‘personal computer’
These companies were always doing those things. Google always collected and connected information on you. Facebook was always using users content/data to experiment with. Cloud computing was always a mistake for most (pay more, get less control, get locked in). Deep learning opens up so many taboos our society is not ready to deal with them. As it scales it will open up more cans of worms.
