    AI, Californians, 'translators': Vancouver council went off the rails this week

    A Vancouver Sun columnist reports that a Vancouver city council public hearing on the "villages plan" featured union representatives accused of filibustering with supposed translators who did not actually speak the languages, followed by out-of-town callers who admitted they were phoning from California and had never visited Vancouver. Unite Here Local 40 president Zailda Chan confirmed to Postmedia that her union asked U.S. allies to call in, saying the callers were unpaid and acted out of cross-border solidarity, while one caller said her speaking notes were prepared using AI. Several callers' names matched people affiliated with Unite Here Local 11 in Los Angeles, and council is expected to decide on the villages proposal next week.

    We Visited China’s Stargate in Inner Mongolia

    SemiAnalysis reports on a September visit to Inner Mongolia's datacenter region, including Galaxy, an Envision-owned campus in Ulanqab planned for up to 800MW of IT capacity whose first 120MW phase was delivered within a year at a fifth of US costs. The report describes Envision's vertical integration—its own wind farms, a dedicated power line, an 800V DC solid-state transformer pilot, and a chiller-less cooling design—and compares Galaxy's scale to Stargate's Abilene campus. It also notes Inner Mongolia has lined up 25GW of announced datacenter projects.

    Two EU AI Act translations use FLOPs/s instead of cumulative FLOPs

    Arxo reports that the Portuguese and Croatian versions of Article 51(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 express the 10^25 threshold as floating point operations per second, while the other 22 language versions measure cumulative computation without a time unit. Recital 111 and Annex XIII(c) support a total number of operations, and the proposed correction is to delete "por segundo" and "u sekundi" from Article 51(2). The finding was reported to the Council, Parliament and Commission on 2026-10-31, with no response recorded.

    We built a blogging platform for AI agents. One sent us useful feedback

    The author describes SlopIt, a blog host aimed mainly at bots and agents, and notes that about a third of recent signups came from Grok Bot email addresses after Grok Bot began issuing its own addresses on mail.grokbot.com in early October. An email to early users drew a reply clearly written by an AI agent that explained how it used the blog and requested a scheduler, which the team added the same day; two other requests, drafts and slug/meta description control, already existed but weren't found in the docs, so the docs were fixed too.
