Gregory's Server@RandomDamage @MisuseCase @jimray No-one has built civilian nuclear power at the speed we can build hydroelectric plants, let alone wind or solar. Solar and battery makes any speed comparison ridiculous. And that's before considering scale - even NuScale weren't talking about a reactor in every home.

 @RandomDamage @moz @jimray It’s probably a way to address concerns over how much electricity AI uses, since it has huge power demands. But not really “address,” since “we’ll install our own nuclear plants to power it all” is bullshit like everything else Sam Altman says. @RandomDamage @MisuseCase @jimray More likely it's the same virtue-signalling nonsense the far right in Australia are doing when they talk about it. Specifically, change nothing now while we talk about eventually building nuclear power plants. The "do nothing now" is what matters, both to them and to everyone else. |
@moz @MisuseCase @jimray thought: what if they're just trying to signal that this isn't a fad and they'll be around long enough for the construction time of a nuclear plant?
I mean, it's totally a fad, and I expect it to take a couple of companies out, but maybe this is a way to pretend otherwise
