> Let me get this straight: we want computers knowing everything, to solve current and future problems, but we don't want to give them access to our knowledge?
Who said that?
There's basically two extremes:
1. We want access to all of human knowledge, now and forever, in order to monetise it and make more money for us, and us alone.
and
2. We don't want our freely available knowledge sold back to us, with no credits to the original authors.
1. What exactly is wrong with the first part of that point? I agree that the second part is inaccurate—right now, the money mostly flows in one direction. But as I mentioned earlier, we can use many of these tools for free.
2. You’re not paying just to have your own knowledge echoed back at you. You’re paying so that someone (or something) can read what you provide and, ideally, return improved knowledge or fresh insights. As I said above, you’re paying for the technology and its capabilities—not the knowledge itself. That’s how I see it.
