“The only credible way to address GPT-4o’s externality problem is for regulators to limit AI firms’ ability to collect and use the data their users share.” LBS’s @AlexSYang talks to @ProSyn about the high cost of GPT-40. ow.ly/5gn250ScP2r

“If you don’t pay for the product, you are the product”. Free access to multi-modal is taking this to a new and dangerous level.

First in-person international conference #POMS2024 since COVID. Great to see a lot of friends. Co-authors did wonderful job presenting our papers, especially Kunyang Li, who did a great job presenting our paper on #EV Battery as a Service Supply Chain (ssrn.com/abstract=4779240)!

But the highlight of the day was basically being told to shut up when questioning time management of the session. I got curious and did a bit research. Apparently I was in the same session with the world No.1 expert on “decoupling with China”. What a pleasure!

Our opinion piece @ProSyn , based on our research (papers.ssrn.com/abstract_id=…), argues against the EU’s one-size-fits-all mandate. @LBS #gai #copyright #ai
