And the #fusionskonstante (vgl. #Erdölkonstante) also applies to #AI : GenAI is coming soon!!!

And then there's the #nuclearEnergyParadox, where 2 institutes only publish studies that claim growth there, which does not happen but they are quoted the most. Same happens here with #AI, because lobbyism, money, greed.
