I don't think the UK can kill this deal. It's just an opinion (I mean one countries opinion). Since so many other territories have already said it's OK. Not sure what happens next but the EU has not weighed in yet and in the U.S. it's not clear it will be pushed against. 

The 'growing security concern' is, according to all the facts available - political BS. Google and Amazon are far more dangerous for anyone to use as far as what data they pull on you.

My take on this is that many of these companies invested heavily in things which had a ton of interest in them generated while everyone was stuck at home. Now interest/value has waned and they're seeing that the true value isn't as high as they thought.

I think the bigger tech companies chase fads, to improve Wall Street cred. Which is all BS. They over hire because ‘wall street’ demands they get into areas that make no business sense. The public market is more corrupt than ever. And companies are beholden to it. I truly believe the greed driven largely unregulated ‘public’ market is creating this.

Is it just me...or does this seem like a great way for all kinds of information to be accidentally or not so accidently scooped up from otherwise private/team meetings? 

How much of the processing happens on a device, vs. being sent to the cloud?

I can imagine some manager utilizing this and a week later finding all the info that was 'summarized' available in search engines.

This just in: rumors are rumors and the rumors are delayed.
