There are approximately 1.5x as many non-AI sessions as AI sessions, but there were approximately ~2x as •votes• for non-AI sessions. The AI talks simply have not attracted as much interest.
This is especially striking when you look at the top sessions. AI sessions account for:
0 of the top 5 most-voted sessions
2 of the top 10
3 of the top 20
7 of the top 40
(Accounting for which sessions were created earlier and thus collecting votes longer changes these results only slightly.)

Democrats are strongly over-performing in general elections (to the tune of 10-15 points),
and Democratic leadership is incredibly unpopular, even among Democratic voters.
This combination means that there will be a lot of support
— in enthusiasm, money, and votes
— for primary challenges to Democratic incumbents,
and the usual Democratic fretting about electability …
If nobody’s talking about what you wish everyone were talking about, be brave. Speak up.
Right before the session deadline, I looked at the schedule and thought, “Nothing about ICE?? Really?! After all we’ve been through in MSP!” Feeling a little desperate, I created this session:

I quickly got a DM from the inimitable Eryn O’Neil, who’d been thinking exactly the same and was halfway through writing up a session when she saw mine come in. We quickly determined our two ideas were complementary, so she created hers:
