Forthcoming IJIO article by Laura Abrardi, Carlo Cambini @flaviopino.bsky.social "Data brokers competition, synergic datasets, and endogenous information value" doi.org/10.1016/j.ij... @sciencedirect.bsky.social

Ladies and gentlemen.. this is paper #5! published OA in IJIO (see thread)! Suppose you buy data from two sources, and combined accuracy is lower than sum of individual accuracies. First dataset increases your profits by 5, second by 2, and so you agree to pay 10 for both? What?!

So, now that the AI stack has been de facto cut in half and cloud computing/chips seem less essential, the question that remains is: which data are more important for foundation models? Training data, or user generated data that may create reinforcement effects? Any insights from tech savvy people?

Impressive work @jschneebacher.bsky.social Thank you!
