It's absolute magic @venturetwins!

How else do I explain this launch of Missed-A-Gram AI 😆 (has audio btw)

@apollonator3000 @LucidPaths33 Haha and more importantly because it did cross that road

[Raj @curiousjar]

@apollonator3000 @LucidPaths33 "Years" in the making - isn't for the agent, it's the data (years of his content) that powers that agent.

[Raj @curiousjar]

@CaptainHaHaa @venturetwins Ah thank you so much! That's very helpful

[Raj @curiousjar]

@venturetwins @CaptainHaHaa Just curious - what's an average credit count for these videos. The cat one as well as the action vid.

[Raj @curiousjar]

@adi_pocha I guess life is all about trying to find that one thing that you can truly be the best at?

Great read again

That freshman year Engineering Drawing student in me is in tears

Coz we have Cursor for CAD now! What a time to be alive.

[Zach Dive @zachdive]

should we release this? 👀

[Raj @curiousjar]

@zachdive @makewithadam We got Cursor for CAD in the house. And I'm here for it. LFG!

[Raj @curiousjar]

@levelsio I think @TakoTreba is working with him too.

Though ya the guy is a machine. Mad respect

@shaneparrish @MarkJCarney How to use Hanlon's razor 101

[Raj @curiousjar]

@apollonator3000 Ya the arbitrage is not in what the models can do, it's about what the humans can make it do.

Btw - do you prefer roocode over cline?

As an immigrant, an aspiring citizen-and-proud Canadian (comme moi): This is a brilliant and groundbreaking memo. Kudos to @buildcanada and @tobi for taking the first step.

Just a few things to look out for
(will write a more detailed blog on these points) :

- Let's review and learn from how/where the Express Entry points system faltered(CRS scores over the past few years tell a story in itself). Avoid those pitfalls.

- Post-entry point system - could be weighted for time compounding effect and intent (not just outcome).

- Review the ground reality of settlement services efficiency. Could be a huge hurdle in achieving those points due to skewed opportunities.

Canada should reward immigrants' success and contributions to the country, not just evaluate their qualifications prior to arrival.

Canada has long prided ourselves on our approach to immigration, but troubling trends have emerged. Immigrants are feeling increasingly disenfranchised – only 46% of permanent residents choose to become citizens, down 40% in two decades.

More concerning still is the "leaky bucket". 1 in 5 immigrants eventually leave Canada, with over 1/3 do so in the first five years of arriving.

When immigrants leave quickly after arrival, they become a net drain on society. They consume settlement resources, healthcare and education, without giving back long-term to our economy and communities. There's a large population of Canadian expats – around 600k – who fall in this bucket.

At the same time, public support for immigration has collapsed. For decades, 60-80% of Canadians agreed that immigration was a positive contribution to society. Now, 58% say Canada accepts "too many" immigrants, 57% believe that immigrants are not accepting Canadian values, and 35% believe that immigration increases the level of crime.

Yet, committed immigrants who put down roots in Canada show remarkably positive outcomes. They drive entrepreneurship, are more likely to volunteer, and are even more likely to donate to charity.

We must reverse recent trends. People must feel like we are integrating and setting up immigrants for success, or they will stop supporting bringing more people to the country.

With so many people wanting to immigrate to Canada, we have the ability to accept only those who want to contribute to the Canadian economy and society. Rather than the current system that only evaluates qualifications prior to arrival, let's change to the system to also consider activities after an immigrant has arrived.

All immigrants will receive a two-year temporary visa with work authorization, regardless of the stream they came in (economic, family reunification, asylum, student, etc.)

Immigrants can earn points for paying taxes, working, starting a business, completing degrees, enrolling their children in school, volunteering, or completing civics courses. Immigrants will lose points for failing to pay taxes, relying on social services, or committing crimes.

A minimum number of points is needed to qualify for permanent residency and citizenship.

A full breakdown of the proposed points system can be read in the memo below:

@sawyerhood This is really cool Sawyer. Signed up and gonna tinker this weekend.

How do I find the discord link btw? Would love to learn more. DMs are open if needed
