Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is promising. The high energy demands of AI has big tech investing in the field of small modular reactors (SMR).
how do you do, fellow kid. tell me more about the field of shitty muclear reactors (SMR)
Criticize all you’d like. I just think it’s better to let corporations foot the research, especially if it turns out to be a fruitless attempt at progress.
For the non-banned people who think this is a good take. It is not. Corps due to competing with each other keep the research private, which if it doesn't work out will lead others to do similar research (wasting that time/money again) or they will patent it which causes a slowdown in further research due to all the license payment shit. (Or worse, they go the before patents were a thing way, and keep it all a secret, wasting more time and money).
