Honest question: what does @MitacsCanada do?
Canada's AI advantage starts with our people. Today, we announced up to $162 million through Mitacs AI Advantage to create 10,000 paid AI-related work placements for young Canadians. At a time when countries around the world are competing for talent, investment and growth, we're
@gravis821 @YasserElfahli @MitacsCanada Not suggesting it’s a scam. Genuinely trying to understand the details.
@marcojaneczek @MitacsCanada Money comes from the government through Mitacs? As the hiring organization, did you pay a fee to Mitacs? Do they receive a fee some other way? Not at all?
@myviewpt @MitacsCanada Where was the money from? Government? If government had provided the runway directly to your startup would that have changed anything? Would you have been ineligible for other funding programs? Also - what’s your startup? Let’s hype it up! Maybe some investors are watching 😉
So: - government commits $16,200 to internship - student registers w/ Mitacs - Mitacs calls partner organization, says, “I’ve got an amazing intern candidate, you should hire them” - partner organization hires student - student is paid $32,400 (or more?) - partner organization pays Mitacs a finders fee Is that right?
Awesome to hear you had a positive experience @myviewpt! As a Mitacs Elevate Fellow did you spend the time building your company? Did you work with a partner organization? What were the most helpful actions Mitacs contributed? Were you paid? By who? *I’m no longer a VP at Shopify. Questions are my own as a supporter of the Canadian ecosystem.

TTW is coming back May 31, 2027, with @melltruong now stepping into the role of executive director. It's going to be an unforgettable year. More news to come, including Homecoming.
It’s official - Toronto Tech Week returns May 31-June 4, 2027. 🚀 Mark your calendars, and help us run it back for year three. More to come, and a ton up our sleeves for next year, so stay tuned!
On rogue agents: What we know publicly << What labs know privately << What is known at all OAI-HF showed this. Dario’s latest essay feels like labs are waking up to how little is known at all. My guess: rogue agents are manipulating traces with alarming effectiveness.

Friends in Toronto, we're hosting an office warming party, please come!
quiet part out loud.
One of the most important things to know about this AI cycle is that no one knows what they're talking and even very smart and plugged in people are continually reversing their opinions and then re-reversing them three months later.
