Exciting! Our latest piece in @HarvardBiz is live now (link in the comments). w @AndresGvirtz

Is GenAI primarily for large companies with deep pockets? A question I keep hearing from executives in SMEs.Our answer is no, not necessarily. On the contrary...

Reggie the Lion, the beloved mascot of King’s College London, turns 100 this month, and earlier this year he became a foray for using artificial intelligence in the classroom https://t.co/Hi6oHzLgbK

New Year, new look for our mascot Reggie the Lion. 🦁

Marketing Lecturer Dr @AndresGvirtz has used AI to give 100-year-old Reggie the Lion a makeover to support his teaching at the Business School.

Two years ago, @DanAkarca & I wondered: Could the various features we observe in brains across species be caused by shared functional, structural & energetic constraints? 🧠⚡️

With our now published spatially embedded RNNs we show this is true!

A myopic focus on control could prevent brands from fully unlocking the doors to consumer engagement that generative AI offers. https://t.co/9TEfahph1t

In this article from @mitsmr, @Adobe's Firefly #genAI is cited as a platform that embraces #innovation while addressing ethical & legal concerns, making us a choice partner for brand managers and #creatives. More insights via @AndresGvirtz & @oguzaliacar: https://t.co/XaPA1aA7MV

We are super excited to put this out into the world with @Conor_A_Walsh and @sharatganapati.

It’s the result of a long effort to think about the origins of the urban-biased growth that has been reshaping our politics and society for the last 40 years.

A little thread 🧵

[Andrés Gvirtz @AndresGvirtz]

@SolomonKurz If age is one of your main explanatory variables, or you believe young participants to be sig. different in your main predictors a solution could be to repeat all analyses with stratification within age bins, (so you keep the age variance compared with just binning). (2/2)

[Andrés Gvirtz @AndresGvirtz]

@SolomonKurz d) Nice to see the community discussing many different approaches. Think it boils down to if you want to increase interpretability (potentially transform), predictive power (optimise residuals out-of-sample) or are worried about e.g. generalisability because of age effects (1/2).

[Andrés Gvirtz @AndresGvirtz]

@thuyvytnguyen Maybe the literature on person-environment fit could be relevant? Fascinating work includes e.g. Bleidorn on person-city fit or Jokela on regional personality-life satisfaction https://t.co/IK6NkiPuhN https://t.co/v1I6ZURp4Z

@JessieSunPsych I don’t think it works post-hoc unfortunately, but I normally use Word’s Cross Ref function so they automatically update when I move things around/add additional tables later on (https://t.co/UAxtAupR4p)
