        “What operating system is that running?”

        “Uh… vista.”

        “We’re all going to die!”

    Better than coal or oil, it might even result in more R&D into reactor designs.

    A corporation running a nuclear reactor to train AIs might just be the most cyberpunk news headline I’ve ever seen.

      They could just invest in a solar farm or something, they are just a lot more economical.

      Nuclear is okay, but the costs compared to renewables are very high, and you have to put a lot of effort and security into building a reactor, compared to a solar panel that you can basically just put up and replace if it snaps.

      You probably know this discussion already through.

      Edit: Glad to see a nice instance of the discussion going here.

      The planet will be alright. It will be lush green in a few million years when humans no longer exist.

      The current ecosystem, though… yeah. Buttfucked.

        Humans will exist. We will live in the sea and we will have flippers. Our brains will be smaller, but we will eat lots of fish.

    Just go to Chernobyl and build there. Deal with the aftermarch now instead of later. The order matter because then they will understand there is a big problem with nuclear power.

    Yes, it have even happened in modern time. Look at what happened at Japan 2011 fukushima. It will happen again. Political/economic/misstakes will happen again. Just look at Russia firing at nuclear plants… we are doomed.
