Everyone is using it for a reason, as long as you arent doing anything esoteric or bleeding edge, gen AI is about 60% accurate at producing pretty useable results for code. And I say that as a developer with 15 years experience.

If you try and point it at some niche library or framework, or a new version with stuff that just came out, yes, it shits the bed.

But if you just prompt it to do an extremely bog standard task that is already a very well solved problem, 99% of the time it mostly gets it right, right enough that all you gotta do is clean up the formatting and maybe organize it better, make it tighter or better looking, etc, but it’ll complete about 90% of the work up front.

Its extremely good at when all it has to do is just replicate code you already wrote but slightly different, like when you need to just invoke some logic for 1,2,3,4,5… You do it once for 1, start typing for 2 and it’ll just autocomplete it.

Mind you, in neovim Shift+A can do the same pretty well too if you know what you are doing.

But nonetheless, everyone uses this stuff because it works, not amazing but its really really good at doing a lot of the boring/repetitive/easy boilerplate kind of stuff.

If you arent using it, you’re going to start falling behind as other people get better and better at using it.

If you label your stuff as ZERO gen ai being used in it, I would damn well expect you truly mean that.

Otherwise it is 100% false advertising.

And, as a result, I classify everyone who uses this label as false advertising, and as a result am 0% interested in buying their stuff.

There’s a huge difference between AI Slop churning to produce a garbage product, vs trying to outright lie to me and try and pretend you didnt use AI at all to make your thing, in any way.

Thats just not how reality works.

You used it, admit you used it, everyone uses it, and thats fine

But theres a difference between using AI to make the output, vs making the output with AI

I give zero fucks if your team used, for example, AI to generate placeholder images for your game development to act as sort of templates for the developers, so you can make your game way faster, and then replaced them with real actual art made by humans, ensuring key things in the art are roughly in the same spots so stuff like hitboxes and etc still line up.

Or using AI generated music placeholders so you can asap start testing your sound engine actually works, as well as a way to convey vibes and what you want to your music engineers so they can make something better.

Or using AI to assist with generating the code for your project, because everyone already does that and you are huffing copium if you think the industry isnt rife with that already

I am never going to believe this tag, because if your game has code and was written since the start of 2025, you will not convince me Gen AI wasn’t used in the coding process at bare min. I work with devs, I know how much people will just grab and use it without even thinking about it. IDEs come with features pre-enabled to help with autocomplete powered by Gen AI, basically everyone is using it in one way or another.

The chance that none of your team of developers on your project arent even at minimum doing basic querying gippity on stuff, is… so low

IF you tell your devs they cant use it, they’ll still use it but just not tell you they are using it, they’ll just open up gippity on a second laptop and use it that way if forced to.

Yes. Try reading the whole post next time before jumping straight to the reply button :)

They can, but only a an idiot would do that.

When you hire less workers to do same work that inherently means stagnating growth, you’re still producing the same output.

A smart company goes “so we get more value per worker we hire than before? We’ll then we invest in hiring more workers”

The reason is because now that you can do the same work cheaper, you can sell your product/service for cheaper.

And if you can do that, your pool of prospective clients balloons.

Example: if you can do a given job in half the time/price, your pool of prospective clients more than doubles, because wealth isn’t an even distribution.

So let’s say if originally you could do a job for 100k in 4 months, you had maybe 100 clients who could afford you.

If now you can offer it at 50k in 2 months, you’ll skyrocket to having waaaaaay more than 200 clients, you’ll prolly have 500? 700? Who knows, clients.

So any sane company in these circumstances goes “oh jeez, we need to hire waaaay more workers now to handle this way higher demand for our service”

A great example of this were cab drivers.

When the motorcar replaced the horse drawn carriage, cab drivers could do the same job for cheaper and faster.

But this didnt reduce jobs, it increased them! Because way more people could afford to use a cab now, demand skyrocketed and suddenly there was a need for enormously more cab drivers.

Any company that doesn’t understand this basic concept is doomed to fall behind.

Tonnes of companies are trying to replace workers with AI

And discovering its not easy at all, and produces garbage results.

Any company that attempts this usually gets punished for it.

Companies, on the other hand, that attempt to augment their workers with AI (as a tool to improve their productivity) are finding pretty good success, which results in them hiring more people, instead of firing them, because their productivity increase means the company can afford to have more workers.

A lot of conservatives have a personal distaste for him being a loser, and doing this.

And the fact that whether he wins or loses the seat has no actual bearing on liberals still being in control.

So a lot of conservatives are considering voting him out to send a message they specifically hate PP so the conservatives elect a better leader

What we would wanna see, ideally, is a conservative leaning local independent who us popular and well known, like a radio host or mayor or etc.

That person could prolly beat PP and send a message.

It’s a chance to flip another seat blue to red.

Case A: PP gets a seat and has to do his job, blue to blue

Case B: a blue seat flips red and PP looks even stupider, and liberals get closer to a majority.

Holy shit this is the first peice of news out of alberta I’ve been happy to see in a hot minute.

Absolutely based

I have my full setup in github with details of all my various plugins I use here!

Once I got so used to all my custom keybinds in neovim, it became hard to use anything else.

I’m used to tools like Harpoon for fast jumping around “bookmarked” spots in my code, once i started using the same technique for my writing it’s like something clicked for me, I was like “holy shit I can arbitrarily jump to spots so fast now…”

I use neovim a lot for coding.

Over time though I discovered it had tonnes of amazing features as a prose editor too, so many powerful plugins for editing prose that blew me away.

Stuff like “warn me if I use tthe same word too much” and whatnot.

And of course telescopes fuzzy find made jumping around to edit my text way faster, and being able to bulk change stuff with a simple :%s/.../.../g feels real good.

I highly recommend folks try out nvim for this use case :3

The 1 seat they got was in the green party stronghold (co leaders home town)

I have zero clue what her platform is, prolly environmentalist tho.

If any vote ever fails in our government, it triggers an instant re-election. It’s called the Vote of Non Confidence

It’s probably one of the most key parts of why our government is a little bit more resistant to clown-showing, because even a small crack in the parliament triggers a new election.

So bills can only be tabled if the gov is 100% confident it will have the votes.

Which means the conservatives could table a bill if they knew the NDP + Bloc would side with them on it, as then they have the votes to pass it.

But since it’s the NDP, a very progressive party, it means they actually hold that fine balance of mediating power between liberals and conservatives.

It’s pretty solid actually, and makes it so everyone the entire term could pass a reasonable bill.

Pretty sure this last term the conservatives and liberals did agree on some stuff and some bills passed with both approving it, iirc.

I think forcing them to occasionally work together like that helps temper the fascism lol.

Bloc have endorsed the liberals already, Quebec is extremely anti trump.

Bloc aligning with conservatives would be political suicide lol.

Atm we got it, this is the magic sweet spot where we want to be

172 seats exactly with lib+ndp+green

and conservatives can’t even threaten a vote of non confidence with bloc’s help. (1 vote short)

But they could trigger it with that 1 green seat’s help, which means liberals have to stay on the good side of that 1 green seat XD

The big key is gonna be if we get that sweet 172 seats with Lib+Green+NDP, we are only 1 seat short

If we hit that mark it means, hilariously, the one single green seat is needed to form a majority government without bloc’s help needed

Which will force liberal party to play ball with NDP and Green Party’s more progressive policies.

That’s our ideal scenario, conservatives are told to go kick rocks, and green/ndp get an actual voice on decision making to push the country in a progressive direction.

One. More. Seat!

police are describing as a car-ramming attack

Call it what it is please.

Terrorism.

Wow, that sure is something else.
