Boy are they gonna look stupid when they realize that no one outside their little bubble has a use for AI.

It’s not even close to ready for launch and why are we wasting energy on it?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 hours ago

because idiots like me who have no marketable skills can use it to fool ourselves into thinking we can do code/art/literature/etc.

AI seems perfect for renewables load balancing. Got extra power to burn because it is windy at night? Train your models

Lol, now just let AI manage the reactors, then give it access to manufacturing tech and we have every machine takeover scenario ever.

Nuclear has never been profitable without massive government subsidies and guarantees, and ~~Google~~ Kairos too will either manage to collect those or lose money.

It’s unclear how Google and Kairos set up the deal — whether the former is providing direct funding or if it just promised to buy the power that the latter generates when its reactors are up and running. Nevertheless, Kairos has already passed several milestones, making it one of the more promising startups in the field of nuclear energy.

I guarantee you, they are shouldering on none of the risk (like the Chinese and French at Hinkley Point), and this startup will be going down.

Yay, more ads to pay for Google’s reactors.
