Good thing I recognized the website URL 🤣
For most people that missed this, the Federal budget actually has allocated a total of $1.6 billion (for now) into Cohere, a Canadian AI company.
So AI is a higher priority than all biomedical research for all diseases for Canada.
Not 100% sure on the specifics, but I read that with the stronger alliance with Europe, Canada gets access to a super computer for researchers, and more then likely useful for applications in healthcare.

This comes along with investment into developing a Canadian owned AI, and I believe there is a "strategic merger" between Cohere with a German company Aleph Alpha.
bla bla bla flat budgets losing to inflation since 2016.
oh fucks sake
I’m sorry—WHAT?? checks source Beav… oh okay phew
Oh my god this got me for a moment
Gotta eat the beaver every once and a while
We should normalize "ate the beaver" as a response to falling for satire articles in Canada. Then start responding with that to other 'ate the onion' comment threads without providing context.
Mmm vanilla
I know this is the beaverton but what I don't get is people who say Canada needs AI sovereignty well saying that is the reason we should allow data centres for American companies to be built.
It's so frustrating that good reasons get embedded in with the shit. LLMs and data centers can be a good tool for things likes research. Canada should have these, if they can be had ethically, for the things we need/want to do. We don't need to have dependency on american companies baked into it.
10/10 headline writing
Just wait for the crash and pickup the data centers on the cheap. Anthropic hasn't invested in any data centers of its own but has massive CAPEX planned in the future just in time for Coreweave to go under.
Yep, that monstrosity is slated to be built on my home island, and I am livid. I still live in the same province, just the other end.
Yuck
Brookfield makes data centres. Coincidence, Shirley.
Got me.
