a yes, it's going to be so fun when enshittification hits the power plant and it start leaking radioactive water in the lake

Edit: my issue is with tech companies owning power plants, be it nuclear, oil or gas, enshittification cold fuck all of them and cause catastrophic damage, other than that nuclear power is based

Safest power source per kWh. This is some boomer-ass scare mongering.

Is the problem nuclear? Or the problem the fact that Microsoft AI bullshit needs a full ass nuclear power plant to run it?

Read the comment I replied to.

No, sorry, those were rhetorical questions. I apologize, you're 100% correct.

Ahh gochya.

I mean, I get why people scoff at it. But look at it from their perspective.

They're getting heat for all the energy LLMs use. The natural response is to buy carbon free energy and good on them for taking that step, frankly.

If they've got to to it... this is probably the better than most ways they could be doing it I suppose.

[–] capital@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'm usually on the lookout for carbon offsets when companies "pledge" to reduce carbon but those are bullshit.

This though? Pretty kick ass.

I don't fear nuclear power, i fear tech companies especially those public

[–] capital@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you under the impression Microsoft will be running it themselves? I don't get it.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 1 month ago

The power being used to train AI models = an AI is who's going to run the power plant.

I guess??

[–] mdurell@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

They could just burn coal/oil/natural gas instead and for sure poison everything that way. Nuclear has a fighting chance.

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

oil spills too

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Don't give power plants to tech companies period lol, at least software can't fuck as many people and the environment as an oil or radioactive leak could

As opposed to all the other non renewable sources of power cause cancer to those who live near by
