Octopus set to make sea change in research culture

This post from the developer of Octopus offers some answers to some of the questions I raised yesterday. "We are still hoping that transparency will lead to self-regulation of the system, that the model can work for a large number of research subjects, and I am still sitting up late at night creating training datasets for the algorithm that someone else is skillfully teaching to 'seed' the system with existing research questions." Now what I'm wondering is whether we can have a set of different octopi, with different world views or competing paradigms.
