This is how much new capacity the world adds each year, which is growing at 30 to 50 percent annually (and 2025 was also a record year). It's just going to keep rolling.
A graph of how much solar power is added globally each year, measured in gigawatts. It shows over a decade of minimal growth (on this scale) but 243 new GW in 2022, 449 in 2023, and 597 in 2024

So uh... are any other vets suddenly getting very unsubtle propaganda from the VA? It started a couple months ago and it's just gotten more and more blatant since.

I don't normally use "AI" but I figured since you do, you would respect its output. I'm not sure that what is described here matches what you described. Which one is incorrect? I know "AI" summaries are often wrong so I assume that's it?
No, AI does not write all software yet, but it currently generates roughly 40% to 50% of all new code globally.While top engineers at AI labs like Anthropic and OpenAI report that AI tools write close to 100% of their own internal code, the broader software industry is in a transitional phase.Current State of AI CodingVolume: Roughly 41% to 46% of all newly written code is generated by artificial intelligence.Adoption: Over 90% of developers use AI assistants like Claude Code or GitHub Copilot in their daily workflows.Task Split: AI excels at boilerplate logic, repetitive API endpoints, and basic configuration files, while humans handle architecture, security, and complex debugging.

I just do not think it's true that most cis people are unconvinced trans people are under attack, & I *extremely* don't think it's true that it's hard for cis people to imagine their own rights under attack, in large part because their rights (like everyone's) are demonstrably under attack right now
you know why it's so hard to convince cis people that are rights are under attack? 

it's multi layered:

1) because they cannot believe thatheir rights could be threatened so we are just making it up

2) some believe that being recognized as who we say we are is a privilege they extend to us

Incredible things happening in public opinion polling
Q: Imagine you had both French fries and a Wendy's Frosty. Which of the following would you most prefer to do?

1) Dip the French fries into the Frosty (briefly place part of each fry into the Frosty)
2) Dunk the French fries into the Frosty (submerge most or all of each fry into the Frosty)
3) None of the above

Option 1 has been selected.

Using "AI" for your business is a great way to immediately make everyone hate your business
A poll run by "next door Ottawa", a market in Ottawa, that asks: how do you feel about the use of 'AI' by small businesses for marketing and promotion? 

1,513 responses were received. 93% voted "I do not like it", 2% voted "I don't care" and 5% voted "I think it's cool"

I asked them to remove me from their list and explained explicitly why and they replied to say they used the "AI" to help them write because they're just a solo developer, which I don't think is a good excuse anyway but especially not when they advertise this:
Why campaigns choose Votera

Yes, our sticker is a little higher than the cheapest plan. Here is what that buys.

The lowest prices you will see are monthly plans billed annually that leave out the live map, your branding and the native apps — and the Canadian tools that do bundle those will not publish a price at all. Votera publishes one number, includes everything, and puts a whole software company behind it.

Errors made during testing phase: minister
Stephen Crawford, Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement, said the errors pointed out in the report were found during the testing phase of process.

“The doctors that go through and use this product oversee every aspect of it,” he said. “So, every decision that is made that comes out of any artificial intelligence anywhere is overseen by a professional.” 

Crawford said the AI scribe systems are designed to save physicians time.

“That gives them more time to spend with their patients and less time in record keeping,” he said.
