.@1Password’s CISO says that @OpenAI's model breaking containment and hacking @huggingface was more or less "inevitable" given recent technological progress. But it was still shocking that it happened completely autonomously. betakit.com/no-product-could

It was a real honour to attend the @OttawaBOT @OBJ_News Forty Under 40 Awards last night. The room was full of young leaders doing great work across Ottawa, and people who are right there supporting them. It’s always encouraging to see this much talent in one place. These are people already making a real impact in our city. Congratulations to all of this year’s recipients. Ce fut un rĂ©el honneur d’assister, hier soir, aux prix Forty Under 40 d’ OBOT et OBJ.

Canada’s innovators don’t lack ambition. They lack capital. Over the past few months I’ve had dozens of conversations with founders across Canada. A quiet anxiety keeps surfacing. It isn’t about talent. It isn’t about ideas. It isn’t about work ethic. It’s about capital formation
