@davidgerard I've heard a comment before, that one positive thing that comes out of this AI craze is that we're going to quickly build more nuclear power plants to power the alleged demand from AI centers (we as in humanity). At least this would be something really useful that stays after the bubble pops. Still, I think (hope!) the bubble will pop much sooner...

@mtrojan yyyeahhh one thing nuclear is not is fast

(despite trump's decrees to move fast and irradiate things)
