a yes, it's going to be so fun when enshittification hits the power plant and it start leaking radioactive water in the lake
oil spills too
I mean... yeah this clearly sucks ass, but as a silver lining, maybe it'll rebuild interest in nuclear.
I don't want old ass nuclear power plants. I don't want new power plants in 25 years either. I want a solar panel on every single rooftop, and diversified municipal energy storage (batteries, molten salt, geothermal, etc).
Old ass nuclear plants work well, and they are already built. I also want solar panels on every house, and micro turbines in every yard. How about we work with what we already know is clean and expand with new technology.
Fission isn't clean. It's dirty tech that is necessary because humans are fucking awful at planning for the future on a societal level and a best case scenario of turning some deserts into a radioactive waste hellscape is better than killing all complex life on Earth.
It is new... They aren't the original ones that were decommissioned...
Why can corporations own nuclear plants? Aren't they people? Can I own a nuclear plant? Or am I just stuck building additional pylons?
AFAIK, There's nothing that says you can't make your own nuclear power plant. Just stuff forbidding you from obtaining nuclear material. Which would make it hard to operate a power plant. But you could still make one that doesn't do anything!
Reminds me of this dude that tried to make a reactor out of americium from smoke detectors.
Strictly speaking, anyone can apply for a license to build a plant but you do need a license. The whole thing is pretty regulated.
The whole thing is pretty regulated.
I feel like that's probably a good thing.
It's stifles innovation.
/s
Most nuclear plants are owned by corporations. Before the accident, Three Mile Island was owned and operated by Constellation Energy (now Constellation Nuclear) and EnergySolutions.
You must construct additional pylons.
Roses are read
Violets are blue
The only additional pylon i need is you 💜
I can't wait for this AI bubble to pop.
I'm not saying that some parts of AI have utility - machine learning for medical scans will be a great thing for instance, but the "oooh new! shiny! venture capitalist, line-must-go-up" side of things can well and truly fuck off.
I don't think it will pop.
Everyone is trying to get in on the ground floor for actual AI. True AI will be as revolutionary as electricity and online porn.
We are a long way off from true AI. You know how VR was a thing with the virtual boy and then the whole thing died for awhile until the oculus and vive revived the idea like 20 years later? And how VR is basically dead again because it's still not quite there? AI is basically like that. We'll get there eventually, but this current trend isn't going to be enough to get us to true AI. It'll go quiet again for awhile until there's some new approach that revives the hype again. Maybe the next phase will do it, but the current AI approach is a dead end from a true AI perspective.
You aren't wrong; but unlike VR, "dumb" AI has been added to so many devices, used so prolifically, and been invested in so much that it will hold until real AI exists.
AI has already written more on the internet than humans have. There is no reason to believe it is a niche product like VR.

The internet. Where it gets all it's training material?
This is not the brag you think it is.
The bar of entry is also far lower. Something like chatGPT or Copilot is magnitudes cheaper and far more useful than a VR headset.
Additionally, large models AI don't make one physically sick with motion sickness, only mentally.
Can you explain what you mean? True AI? Like AGI or something else?
everyone has a different idea of what true ai will be
AI isn't a very good descriptor, it's a catch all for a bunch of different tech. The media does a pretty poor job making that point so people are left to come to their own conclusions about what AI actually is.
True AI is a sentient program that can be creative and evolve it's own programming. Think digital human analoge, but it knows everything and is easily confused.
Current AI is a party trick performed by a search engine that phrases results in a conversation or a random data generator that can have a theme that informs a comprehensible image.

We'll achieve fusion as an energy source before we develop what you're describing. If they're trying to get in on the ground floor that's pretty funny.
They want Jane from Speaker for the Dead, they're going to get Skynet.

Exactly. I'm bullish on AI, I'm not bullish on what the mass market media calls "AI."
What a waste of power. Somehow they went from "we're green tech!" to "fuck it, we need ALL the power" real quick. And for nothing.
Nuclear is green
For profit... somehow.
Don’t forget that Microsoft isn’t some dumb company trying to jump on the AI bandwagon. They’re a cloud provider and Azure provides lots of AI options.
Microsoft is one of the platforms raking in heaps of money from dumb companies trying to jump on the AI bandwagon. They’re the equivalent of the people selling MAGA shirts outside trump rallies.

They are making money off AI. Don't think they're not. I don't understand how, but these company's are getting profit.
it's venture capital, fueled by the fumes of hopes and dreams and fantasy stories for investors.
If you look at the enterprise pricing and options for Copilot and Security Copilot, they're building a pretty obvious business model around automating everything from end user basic tasks to tier 1 incident response.
I'm not advocating that it will work, especially as a person in IR but, all the big players are pushing for security automation. All it's going to take is one high profile incident to shift the CSO's and the like to jump in with both hands full of "ai" purchase orders.
The shittiest part is, this is only going to eliminate more entry level secops jobs. Jobs that are generally a great place to start in the industry.
It's also going to create more headaches for the people left to fix things
"Shut up and use the AI we are paying a fortune for!"
Proceeds to figure everything out for themselves and works themselves to death
Not necessarily. Companies chase what's popular because it boosts the stock. Executives get bonuses and move to the next hot idea.
Remember when everything was block chain?
