Agree. There seems to be a consensus in the art world about that. Do you think though that at some point the creators of the algorithm and people whose images are used as training sets etc should get some value out of it?
I think that there is a precedent for it, mainly in pop art and even more in film. You can't use other people's work to enhance your own work without giving credit.
I think that the gray area is if it's considered inspiration? We can't quantify how much we 'steal' from others in our own work.
"Now, here’s my not-so-big bet: Jio will not make its magic number of 100 million customers in one year. The person who offers me the best odds before end of Saturday on a $200 bottle of a single malt is on.
In fact, more from my smoky mirror: Jio will struggle for at least a few years before it starts making a dent in the telecom market." http://goo.gl/hH7Fai

I was at the Alipay headquarters a few weeks ago. What caught my eye was a large IBM machine kept outside the office with lots of signatures on them. When I asked them what it was, they said this was the last piece of American technology the company used and they'd kept it as a trophy. They've replaced every thing else in the company with Chinese tech. That's quite something for a company which processes millions of transactions in a day.
Those are pretty hard to assign to a country I'd say. I mean is the Linux kernel Finnish?
But yeah if the point is just to use non-US tech they could run Ubuntu Linux (SA) or OpenBSD (Canada) or I suppose Red Flag Linux (China). Language wise...maybe Python or PHP or Erlang or an ML language?
The kernel has heavy development from the US. If their intention was to think they were running complete on things not developed at least partially in the US, then they were really off the mark. Huawei even blatantly steals software for their network hardware from US companies.
If they just meant the last piece of physical hardware sold by an American headquartered company, then I guess that's something?
Popular FOSS projects are typically invented in the US, funded by US companies, and consists of US developers. I think its a little arrogant to pretend these things would exist without the US.
Also, whats in those Lenovo boxes? Godson chips or American Intels? They are absolutely not running Windows on any desktop then I assume?
The whole thing is laughable. And even then, even if they replace all "American" pieces of software and hardware, the remaining will probably be 80% European anyway! Great Victory, Comrades!
That's probably what he meant. I'm Indian. I didn't go deep into what software etc, so apologies for what might come across as a loose comment. And agree with all of you about much of fundamental software coming from various nations. Can't be of any one country.

A detailed account on how Flipkart is trying to mend its ways is here: http://goo.gl/zRZ1FP.
FK sold me a FlipKart first membership for Rs. 500/year. When I tried to use it, I realized it was only for products sold by WS Retail. Of which there is an ever shrinking quantity.
