Quick Glance: Google introduces option for publishers to exclude themselves from AI training data

Google announced a new flag, Google-Extended, for robots.txt to instruct Google's crawlers to include a site in search without using it to train new AI models like Bard.

Google is giving website publishers the ability to opt out of having their data used to train the company's AI models while still being accessible through Google Search.

Google-Extended allows publishers to manage whether their sites contribute to improving Bard and Vertex AI generative APIs, and they can use the toggle to control access to a site's content.

Many websites have already blocked the web crawler that OpenAI uses to scrape data and train ChatGPT, including The New York Times, CNN, Reuters, and Medium.

electrek.co/2023/04/19/tesla-hires-new-top-lawyer-lead-scary-hardcore-litigation-team/

Quick Glance: Analyst warns Tesla’s stock is overvalued, could drop another 80%

Tesla has lowered the prices of some of its most popular models six times this year to boost demand amid increasing competition in the EV market. However, analysts suggest that this tactic could impact margins.

The booming EV market has enabled Tesla to rapidly increase its vehicle deliveries in recent years, and many analysts believe that this trend will continue.

According to Trainer, the main issue for investors could be the overvaluation of Tesla's stock.

Trainer proposed a reverse discounted cash flow (DCF) model to determine Tesla's value. He found that for Tesla to be valued at $200 per share, it would have to sell as many as 30 million EVs by 2031. Trainer and his research team found that the stock is still 'significantly overvalued' even in the most optimistic scenarios.
