That’s a great observation.

An idea for curation:

Content evaluated by usefulness towards solving some problem. Perhaps measured by its usefulness towards training a very narrow AI. Like what if AlphaGo’s only inputs were web pages on the topic of Go, and there were hundreds of instances of it all trained on different combinations of web pages, and competing against each other.

Probably the data<>contest mapping is itself intractable until we have AGI, at which point the whole question might be moot. But what it?
