Netflix wants you scrolling clips on your phone

  Netflix wants you scrolling clips on your phone

Netflix is finally acknowledging that most people looking to kill time while waiting for the bus would rather scroll 30-second videos than watch The Irishman. The streaming service launched a short-form vertical video feed called Clips as part of an app revamp unveiled in the US and eight other countries yesterday. While it sounds like Netflix is entering TikTok’s turf, the streamer insists that Clips won’t be the place to witness a day in the life of a 28-year-old who works in private equity in New York. Instead, Netflix’s algorithmic feed serves clips from the shows and movies in its content library to help viewers discover new titles: Eventually, it’ll also feature clips from podcasts, a content genre Netflix has invested heavily into in recent months, as well as live events. The streamer will soon let users choose collections of video genres they want to watch, like romance and reality TV. Big picture: Netflix says Clips is meant to meet people where they’re at—namely, on their phones—to command their eyeballs when they’re not in front of a TV. Netflix’s streaming rivals Peacock and Disney+ also recently launched vertical video feeds.

Canada has been selected to host a multinational bank to provide “long-term, low-cost financing” for defence projects by NATO members and allies, the federal government said Wednesday.

The Globe and Mail newspaper first reported the decision following the end of multinational negotiations earlier Wednesday that were hosted in Montreal.

A news release issued late Wednesday says the defence bank will allow member countries, including Canada, to leverage shared resources to “meet today’s defence challenges.”

National Defence Minister David McGuinty, in the release, called it a “resilient and responsive defence industrial base — for Canada and our allies.”

A source with direct knowledge told The Canadian Press there’s still a lot to discuss and sort through — and cautioned there’s still a world in which it doesn’t happen.

Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver and Montreal are all competing to have the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank located in their jurisdictions.

Canada’s Big Six banks have all put their support behind the proposed international defence financing vehicle, which would be aimed at lowering borrowing costs for military spending.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce applauded the news, saying the defence industry is a major economic driver and will become a growing force as it attracts more investment.

Accuracy of Google’s AI Overviews

 Accuracy of Google’s AI Overviews

Morning Brew Design

When you Google “do dogs know math?” and other important questions as you lie in bed at night, Google’s AI Overviews will provide an accurate response about 90% of the time, according to new research from the AI startup Oumi. While that seems pretty good, there are caveats: Since Google processes trillions of searches per year, 90% accuracy still equates to tens of millions of inaccuracies per hour (or hundreds of thousands per minute), the New York Times noted. More than half of accurate responses linked to sources that did not actually support the information. The second- and fourth-most-cited sources were...Facebook and Reddit. Google concedes that AI Overviews aren’t always accurate and encourages users to double check the info. And, for the record, dogs do possess a rudimentary understanding of math (I learned that from Google’s AI Overview).
