Calls for #Drax to be forced to fully disclose its #biomass sourcing | Drax | The Guardian
Drax used to be a huge #coal-fired #PowerStation which switched to burning biomass and so earned a label of being green (debatable, IMHO). However it has been sourcing at least some #wood #fuel from #NorthAmerica, which obviously involves #shipping it over and so has been accused of #GreenWashing its credentials.
"Driven by the logic of contemporary #capitalism and the energy requirements of computation itself, the deepest need of an #AI in the present era is the #fuel for it own expansion. What it needs is #oil, and it increasingly know where to find it."
Remember the #papercliphypothesis…
Philosophers have speculated that an AI tasked with a task such as creating paperclips might cause an apocalypse by learning to divert ever-increasing resources to the task, and then learning how to resist our attempts to turn it off. But this column argues that, to do this, the paperclip-making AI would need to create another AI that could acquire power both over humans and over itself, and so it would self-regulate to prevent this outcome. Humans who create AIs with the goal of acquiring power may be a greater existential threat.

核融合技術は未来のエネルギーとして期待されてます。 放射性廃棄物が出ない理想的なエネルギーとも云われますが、果たして本当なのでしょうか? もうご存じの方も居られますと思いますが、核芬利原子炉では長期に渡り、強い放射線にさらされる事で素材その物の性質が変化して炉事態が放射性に成る現象が起こります。科学的には未だ解明されていない様だ。従って、融合原子炉でも同様の現象が発生する可能性は否定出来ません。正確な原因が解らない以上、起き得ないと結論付けるのは無責任でしかない。 確かに使用済み核燃料は発生しませんが、解体の際に炉自体が放射性廃棄物に成る可能性は排除出来ません。 もし放射性廃棄物が出な

Fusion technology is expected to be the energy of the future. It is said to be an ideal energy source that does not produce radioactive waste, but is it really true? As some of you may already know, in a nuclear reactor, exposure to strong radiation over a long period of time changes the propert
