Kind of a non sequitur -- but I joined @cohere this month. If you're also a Canadian living in SF feeling weird about the current moment, i'm always happy to talk 🙂

We just announced Canada’s new Productivity Mega Deduction.
This cuts Canada’s marginal effective tax rate from 13% to 6.4% on new business investment — the lowest of any major economy in the world.
Canada is building big — and becoming the best place in the world to build.

The idea that two or three Silicon Valley companies should act as the creator, gatekeeper, and rulemaker of AI for every government on earth doesn't survive being said out loud.

Who Gets to Define the Rules for AI?
Artificial intelligence needs evidenced standards, not a cartel. A perspective from @aidangomez, co-founder & CEO of Cohere:
Some great ideas here from the cartel:
- you need to give us employee-level access to your entire operation
- if we don't think you're 'safe' enough, sorry we're shutting you down for 'safety'
- China won't comply, but everyone else has to! or no chips!
Brilliant stuff.

My freedom. My focus. My practice. If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, it’s not worth trying to excel at it.
@Cohere keeps it that way.
Originally, the Transformer paper was proposed to improve Google Translate. 9 years later, as the AI industry is built on top of its architecture, we've never stopped thinking about translation.

This deserves a Canadian Heritage Minute and nobody's talking about it...
🇨🇦 just rebuilt 4 nuclear reactors at Darlington. 4 months EARLY. C$150M UNDER budget. 3,512 MW locked in for 30+ years.
Nuclear megaprojects NEVER come in early. Canada just did.
How they pulled it off...

BREAKING: Canada is developing an air-transportable nuclear microreactor built to fit aboard a C-17 and power Arctic military bases, remote communities, and critical infrastructure.
CSMC, the Canadian space and defense company, unveiled three new reactor platforms, POLAR-1 for Arctic and defense operations, JAY-1 for lunar power, and ORCA-1 for nuclear research, testing, and workforce development.
POLAR-1 is targeting first criticality in 2028, with fleet-scale deployment envisioned from 2030.

Synthetic data derived from production user data of consumer AI tools is used for training. I’ve heard this rumour from both large labs’ employees.
In particular, if you’re doing something “interesting” like working on complex math/business/software/bio problems you’re dramatically more likely to get trained on because they filter/up-weight towards those usecases where the model has the most to learn.
Even in ZDR and “we won’t train on you” regimes, derivative data is usually carved out. The promise is only not to train on exactly the data you put in, rewritten data is fair game.

I believe everyone should have access to superintelligence, and I wrote a long piece about Meta's philosophy and values for building a positive future for everyone.
Being a reliable, good-faith partner is rare and highly sought after.
