“Cannes is an interesting place to take a pulse check of AI because it is this contradictory mix of a “celebration of creativity” as a facade for the carnival of capitalism, which is an accurate reflection of how things really work.” 100% true. Ahh, I do love your acerbic wit and insight Brian.

Your creativity is absolutely on fire with your report on the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2023. I quoted extensively from this for my report here: https://www.infer-pub.com/questions/1265-will-a-country-ban-or-take-regulatory-actions-that-ultimately-block-access-to-openai-s-models-e-g-through-chatgpt-or-the-api-between-1-june-2023-and-31-october-2023-inclusive

Bottom line: intelligence entities in the US and UK are excruciatingly concerned over of the geopolitical risks of large language models. I believe your reporting is invaluable and hope that my input about your work will help them grasp what if emerging. Thank you, thank you.
