They read the code that ChatGPT generated, looked back over their own code, and then copied it into their source file, saying, "I see...I like this one more."

A new data centre warehouse that would require large amounts of water to cool the data down is proposed for the lot across from Barnwell’s East Wellington Road home.

$A large increase in VC funding occurred in 2021 in Canada, the United States, and globally (Figure 5.1). In Canada, this was preceded by a decline in funding in 2020 that was not as evident elsewhere in the world (CVCA, 2023). However, both Canadian and global levels of VC funding have appeared to stabilize at pre-2020 levels. WIPO found that Canada leads the world in both the number of VC deals received and the number of joint venture/strategic alliance deals from foreign and domestic sources as a percentage of GDP. However, the absolute amount of VC financing available in Canada has been as little as 5% of that of the United States. VC deals in the United States are also substantially larger than those in Canada—the United States routinely raises more than 10 times the amount as Canada with only twice as many deals. VC funds are typically specialized by investment stage, sector, or geography. These can include public sector funds, private funds (backed by financial institutions, corporations, family offices, or individuals), and corporate funds. Canada has shown significant capital invested in early and later investment stages in recent years (Figure 5.1a), with pre-seed and seed capital comprising only a small fraction of the total capital deployed. However, year over year, these catalytic investments made up a smaller fraction of total investments compared with global and U.S. levels. Likewise, Series C and mega rounds worth over $250 million made up over half of global investments each year compared with a more modest representation of “later stage” and “growth equity” investments in Canada.$
