#AcademicRunPlaylist - 1/7/26

A mostly bare forest, with the ground coated with snow, lit by the sun shining through the clouds.

It was good to see the sun out today melting ice away while listening to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist

First was an engaging discussion with Diane Coyle on competition in digital markets, the stronger entanglement of geopolitics in the economy, and more on the Digital Markets Research Hub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doxvaCyvOEg

Next was an interesting talk by Matthew Sag on fair use and licensing for generative AI at Yale ISP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0-FmhFlrKs

Next was an intriguing talk by Gert Cauwenberghs on neuromorphic computational systems at the Santa Fe Institute (SFI) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8u8l9du26w

Next was a great conversation between Ann Lipton and Michael Levin on the final, shameful Tornetta decision and how activists recruit director candidates on the Shareholder Primacy podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bejTLLFeiLA

Last was a thought-provoking talk by Shantanu Chakrabartty on integrating quantum and neuromorphic computing systems at SFI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op8rOochnEA
