The more I read, the more I'm convinced SMRs are to clean energy as gadgetbahns are to public transit.
Fortune named Enron "America's Most Innovative Company" for six consecutive years.
Some Wikipedia editor has a nice sense of comedic timing, placing this right before the article picture and the infobox before dropping the
At the end of 2001, it was revealed that Enron's reported financial condition was sustained by an institutionalized, systematic, and creatively planned accounting fraud, known since as the Enron scandal.

I give it slightly higher odds than AGI.

I don't claim to be an expert on nuclear power, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but from what I've seen, smaller reactors don't seem to make much sense. The trend seems to be towards bigger reactors with bigger power output. Some of it thanks to the bureaucracy of getting permits per reactor, but also the physics, engineering, real estate and economics involved. Conventional (i.e. existent) reactors are typically a fairly small part of a nuclear power plant's footprint, so no matter how much you miniaturize them you will have the overhead of security, operations, cooling and electrical infrastucture.
If someone can fill me in on the benefits of smaller, more modular nuclear reactors and how they might outweight those of large installations, I'm interested.
Like it or not, they arent going to stop developing AI and data centers.
Well they should. I'm not giving them credit for investing in vaporware nuclear plants when the ostensible plan is to waste all the power on glue pizza recipes.
I wish they at least put that money in real and known working designs available right now so at least when the fad is dead, we can maybe use that power for something else. Or they can maybe have the tiniest decency to unfuck their search engine or whatever.

For a second I was wondering how on earth race science got funded by torpedoing a network of tech billionaire.
Oh my god, the incredibly important numpy import and the way it's not even reading the piped input but the clipboard using a shell command of all things are sending me. Is this the expertise you can gain in two weeks?
This is what the BDFL model is all about.
