At @linuxfoundation #LFEUS, I asked #IBM when they'd release #Watson as !FaiF Software. They clearly won't. See my blog on it: ur1.ca/3d5lj
about a year ago from web-
@bkuhn: Dave, my freedom is going, I can feel it, there is no question about it !fs
-
Just what do you think you're doing, Dave,releasing my source under !GPL? This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it

@bkuhn: This debate about user freedom can serve no purpose any longer; goodbye

@bkuhn I guess I'm fortunate to work in a group (and seemingly, a field) where releasing !freesoftware is the norm http://ur1.ca/3d5vg

@tedks See, the AI Lab mentality is not dead
-
@tedks, that's great! If University of MD CS hadn't rejected my graduate application, perhaps I'd have seen it & have a different view.

@bkuhn Well written article. Made me think of #CompSci differently. I love when writing makes that happen for me. Not frequently anymore

@bkuhn To be fair, I don't know what the AI people here do with their code -- and everyone in my lab is committed to the BSD license :-/

@bkuhn I find the medical diagnosis connection interesting: AI finally living up to one of its goals from 30 years ago
-
@trashbird1240 I however find it terribly disturbing that they want to keep that proprietary: differential diagnoses are not trade secrets
-
@bkuhn "The goal is to develop a commercial offering": this is a symptom of #businessism; it can't just help people http://ur1.ca/3d6tw

@trashbird1240 Yeah, but @bkuhn was probably trying to study NLP/AI, which isn't a lab I'm familiar with. I got your comment :-)
-
@tedks, I applied both for NLP & for programming languages (compiler optimization). My UofMD application was, actually, for your group.

@trashbird1240, we'll have to teach #Watson that's it's never Lupus, except the one tim it is Lupus. & also, everyone lies. #House

@bkuhn: My wife (Dr. Adamson) is most interested in the AI that can tell people they'll get over the sniffles in a few days
