    You’ve been advocating for pointlessly wasting the output of an entire nuclear power plant during a time when an urgent decarbonization of energy is needed, to fuel the energy needs of a corporate monopoly running server farms providing a technology that’s neither wanted or needed outside of niche use cases, following an online hype mixed with scams and rugpull startups that rival crypto’s heydey?

      My original idea was for the AI companies to shell out for building new nuclear plants, but bringing an old one back online is a step in the right direction. I don’t think the current “AI” projects aren’t actually worth the resources they consume, but if they’re going to exist, their creators should be shelling out for non-fossil fuel options to power them.
