Zuck was in roughly the same position and they didn’t put out a statement skipping that IPO. The valuation criticism is more valid but this line belies political motivation.

Can you give a specific example, ideally that would not have been solved by people-hours amounting to less than the token costs?

Agree, but the average user trusts the AI knowledge box as expert summary, even though clicking through often reveals contrary information, so this is going to be a net negative ov…

It was a public safety disaster that the country is still trying to recover from.

In Canada, for most of the 20th century until maybe 15 years ago, your PII was in a big book that lived at everybody's house and the library unless you specifically opted out.

"Once you've been to [the Netscape ISP Homepage], you'll never stop wanting to beat [front-end Javascript frameworks] to death with your bare hands."

After thousands of years of research we still don’t fully understand how humans do it, so what reason (besides a sort of naked techno-optimism) is there to believe we will ever be …

The title framing is weird when the report says maybe 5% of the 1250 were civilians, and the same rights group also reports more than 1500 civilians [0] killed over the same period…

Better how?

Ragebait would be trying to argue that China running secret police and propaganda operations on Canadian soil, against Canadian citizens, is in any way equivalent to a domestic for…

It’s a good thing Canada waited for China to resolve all these issues before swinging open our market doors to them.

The offset is not positive when you factor in the externalities that go into escalating Chinese EV production.

China and their famously steady temperament would never be so bold as to try to own a dependent country or strategically weaponize trade. These are real things Canadians believe - …

Except those actions are not secret, nor illegal, nor a threat to any other country’s sovereignty?

Nothing to do with “unfair, non-market policies and practices […] and China’s intentional, state-directed policy of overcapacity and lack of rigorous labour and environmental stand…

Did ICE have clandestine police stations in Canada trying to rendition political dissidents? People need to get a grip and some perspective.
