The thought of a nuclear reactor running on Windows is terrifying.

A corporation running a nuclear reactor to train AIs might just be the most cyberpunk news headline I've ever seen.

Better than coal or oil, it might even result in more R&D into reactor designs.

I thought this crazy energy consumption shit would cool off a bit after assholes stopped bitcoin mining.

Glad AI stepped up so we can generate bad art and prose while buttfucking the planet

So we finally get thorium power, but its only used to make celebrity porn for incels.

requires an intensive carbon footprint

Maybe we should focus on the collapsing ecosystem then instead of training AI datasets.

We already know how well Microsoft optimizes code, so this comes as no surprise.

Building and maintaining one isn't really the concern I have with this one, nuclear reactors are incredibly safe these days. What are they going to do with the nuclear waste? That's the real issue here. Governments can barely figure that out, how's a megacorp going to do that in an ethical way? I already see them dumping it in a cave in some poor country in africa.

Nuclear power is actually way cheaper.

You just need to find a geologically safe place to put it and you need to make sure everyone involved follows safety protocols to the letter. And you can't have anyone cutting corners to save money. You need to spare no expense when it comes to safety.

The only issue is that people don't stay strict with keeping everything safe sometimes. People are terrified of it because when something goes wrong, everyone can see the very gruesome results very quickly

But I don't think microsoft or any company should be making an AI at the rate they are if it's going to take as much resources as it seems.

The human body produces a lot of electrical impulses. What if they just took all their workers and put them in some type of "work pod" and harnessed the energy to run the large scale AI?

The reason is ultimately irrelevant, but I welcome more nuclear energy.

This seems kind of ideal though, computers provide a near constant load (relatively speaking) that combines very well with nuclear energy.

Perhaps we should be asking why we haven’t already been doing this for the past decade?

Tell me more about how capitalists efficiently allocate resources.

I predict that within 10 years, computers will be twice as powerful, ten thousand times larger, and so expensive that only the 5 richest kings of Europe will own them

Hi bing. How do I stop a nuclear reactor from going critical?

For those correcting my error It was just a joke. The only things I know about nuclear power I learned from the simpsons and Kyle hill

LLM seemed really impressive at first, but it made it to “this year’s NFTs” in record time.

with the hopes of buying electricity from it as soon as 2028.

Fusion won’t be ready by then

Energy should be public

Just fill the Country with Solar, Wind and Water... won't take 10 years and will be cheaper too.

I guess the rich don’t have an energy crisis.

Burning 3 continents worth of coal to steal artwork at maximum efficiency.

There is nothing wrong with nuclear power

I can't handle this . i'm going to sleep.

Imagine if it ends up requiring the achieving of ignition for Microsoft to launch a version of clippy that is able to reliably comprehend English grammar enough to make writing recommendations.
