It’s worth noting that he also fired many of the staff who know how to ensure that they’re actually safe, as well as the staff who would approve financing.

        One AI datacenter will soon take up the same electricity as a city if we let tech bros keep building.

        Instead of admitting the tech has hit a wall they will burn the planet down for diminishing returns on this scam

          But what if AI collapses at some point? Approve a load of nuclear reactors and then AI collapses so we can use all that power for the good of humanity.

            Why would we make excess power we have to discharge?

            It’s literally a waste of resources.

            Maybe we should build housing and other things people actually need.

              Countries that still use coal could turn those off thanks to the nuclear reactors

                I feel like you don’t understand how spending money to produce extra cities worth of power that we then have to throw away is a bad idea.

                Also building nuclear has nothing to do with AI
