In this week's episode, we talk about a Canadian-made AI that can write, a Supreme Court of Canada decision that penalizes racist trolls, the OnePlus 7 announcements, Adobe legal drama, facial recognition law in San Francisco, and Google's new ad plan.
The latest in "everyone hates Facebook:" an op-ed by someone who knows Mark Zuckerberg says they should break it up, and how Facebook's censorship algorithms can thwart law enforcement efforts.
Speed round:
- the GM plant in Ontario is going to be for autonomous vehicle testing now
- WhatsApp found (and patched) spyware
- Intel had a major security flaw too — update your stuff
- Microsoft used AI to make whisky
- Twitter's iOS app had a privacy bug — seriously, update your stuff
- Google might be testing automatic car detection in Android Q... but maybe only exclusive to Pixel phones
