CannabisNewsBreaks – One Cannabis Door Closes, New Ones Open for Former Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) CEO

Sep 9, 2020

Former Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) co-founder and co-CEO Bruce Linton was featured in a recent Yahoo! Finance article by Zack Guzman. The piece details “a smattering of new roles” Linton has landed within the cannabis industry since being “ousted” by Canopy’s board, which Guzman describes as having become increasingly controlled by investor and beer conglomerate Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE: STZ). The cannabis pioneer will reportedly be joining, in an advisor capacity, many smaller companies, as well as “trying his hand as an activist investor” for SLANG Worldwide Inc. (OTC: SLGWF) – a global cannabis consumer packaged goods company. Among his multitude of new roles, Linton will serve as executive chairman for Michigan-based Gage Cannabis and as special advisor for animal health and wellness CBD micro-cap Better Choice Company Inc. (OTCQB: BTTR). The article quotes Linton on his new endeavors, where he states, “The way I selected the companies was not how much equity they would give me. I turned down the most self-enriching offers. However to be transparent, all firms provided me with generous equity exposure. With each firm and space, I sought to develop a specific view of how we build enterprise value from the current activities and limit disruption.”

8 in 10 Korean social media users want AI content labels, citing distrust

More than eight in 10 social media users in Korea said artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content and advertisements should be clearly labeled, reflecting growing discomfort over material that can appear artificial, misleading or difficult to verify. In a survey released Saturday by research firm Opensurvey, 85.6 percent of 900 YouTube, Instagram and TikTok users said social media platforms should disclose whether content was made using AI. Among respondents, 54.1 percent said such labeling was “absolutely necessary.” Support for disclosure was high across all three platforms: 88 percent among YouTube users, 85.3 percent among Instagram users and 83.3 percent among TikTok users. Nearly half of respondents, 49.9 percent, said AI-generated content felt artificial or awkward. Another 39 percent said they questioned whether its information was factual, while 33.8 percent said undisclosed AI use made them feel deceived. Only 11.4 percent described AI content as creative, 10.4 percent called it interesting and 9.6 percent said it felt new. The skepticism also extended to advertising. Am

IKEA Konstrunda collection offers 'affordable art' for all

IKEA has launched a new collection worldwide that explores a less familiar approach to home decor. For the new Konstrunda collection, seven creators came together to produce 18 distinctive art pieces, suggesting how art can be used to style everyday living spaces at affordable prices. Karin Gustavsson, creative director for the collection that was unveiled earlier this month, said the project is “democratization” of art, emphasizing the pieces’ comparatively low prices, ranging from 29,900 won ($21.50) to 349,000 won. Setting affordability as a key condition for the collection, she gave the artists broad creative freedom in how they expressed their ideas. As the leader for Range Identity at IKEA Sweden, Gustavsson said preserving each artist’s spirit and ideas was just as important as keeping the works affordable. “When I choose people to work with, I make sure that they understand the ethos of IKEA, and even if there is freedom to design, we do work on an entirely different scale and have other factors to consider — affordability being one of the most important,” said Gus
