Did a little write up on integrating AI into ourpolitics.ca for the 🇨🇦 election this year. Being able to shift my focus from data gathering to data validation has been a huge unlock.

@0xjessel I highly recommend using Cursor’s “Composer” UI (cmd+k, I think?) instead of the inline or sidebar chat. You can iterate your prompt and it can edit across multiple files by default (including creating new ones). Obviously Claude 3.5 is the way to go as well. It’s a crazy, fun paradigm shift :)

When I say that COVID is on a technical level fairly easily solvable, we just choose not to - it's things like these that I'm thinking of:

> A simple ventilation system removes 90 percent of respiratory aerosols which potentially include coronavirus particles, from indoor air […] The design is very simple and was implemented using DIY store materials worth about € 200.
