Hiding AI
Seth Godin’s hiding ideas applies to AI models and software in general:
Some people hesitate to share an idea because they’re worried it will be stolen.
In general, these people are afraid of success, not failure. An idea unspoken is a safe one, which not only can’t be stolen, but it can’t be tested, criticized, improved or used in the real world.
- Seth Godin
When you ship code, you may get criticized. You’ll make mistakes. You risk being humbled.
But your idea might get better. It might get used in the real world.
Steve Jobs said “Real artists ship.” Shipping software is sharing ideas. You ship, learn, and re-do it all over again. Isn’t that why you got into software in the first place?
