Gimme your recs 🫵 - OpenAI taps Yelp for recommendations, Chatting edtech with Pascal Siakam.

Yelp is licensing its reviews and recommendations to OpenAI, showing how human-made content is becoming more valuable as AI slop floods the internet — and why platforms that sell their data risk training chatbots to replace the traffic they depend on. Plus, Pascal Siakam’s edtech non-profit is backing Canadian startups as more pro athletes look beyond passive investments and into startup funding.

And in The Big Picture: Canada keeps negotiating with the U.S. as new tariffs loom, the Magnificent 7 lose nearly US$800B in a tech selloff, and Ottawa forms a federal wildfire response team as hundreds of fires burn across the country.
