made by aliens from the planet Zod

I dunno. I've met some aliens from the planet Zod. They can only travel through space because they were given the technology by another species, the Klorats. They're so inept that they once crashed a space ship into Roswell, NM when they were trying to meet with US military personnel at Area 51. As such, I wouldn't trust a line of code if they wrote it.

My experience with AI has been that it's a tool that gives you a starting point, not a fully worked out solution to your problem. This cuts across multiple fields I've used it for. You need to take the approach verifying everything. And if you don't understand the field well, don't trust until you do.

Projections by industry group the China Electricity Council showing that 80GW of coal could be commissioned for the full year would make 2025 the biggest year for new coal power capacity additions in a decade, the CREA report said.

New approvals of coal power projects in the first half of the year, however, fell slightly from recent years, to 25GW.

"The core tension of 2025 is increasingly evident: coal's share in power generation has fallen to record lows, yet new coal power capacity additions are on track to reach decade highs," the researchers wrote.

There's the Wikimedia Endowment and there's the Operating Reservers. I was a bit generous on the overall quantities, but the former, the endowment, is about 300M. The Operating Reserves, though are around a billion. So it's over a billion between the two, but not the "billions upon billions" that I'd previously stated.

It all comes down to seeing AI for what it is: a tool. I used it in a case where i couldnâ(TM)t find representation. I didnâ(TM)t take its draft as factual. I looked at what it produced and found a case that had nothing to do with mine that it sited. I then made it correct itself, and then run through every case and statute again. I did several rounds of this. I then made it prove its case as correctly scribed and give multiple rounds of back and forth between how it expected the case would play out. When the hearing came, it was clear the defendantâ(TM)s attorney wasnâ(TM)t expecting what he was facing against a pro bono. He had to request a continuance to get his act together in what he thought was going to be an easy win. Note that in my case, because of studying pre-law, I had enough background to have a clue about this. Make sure you do too if you do this.
