    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?

          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.

                I’m usually on the lookout for carbon offsets when companies “pledge” to reduce carbon but those are bullshit.

                This though? Pretty kick ass.

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

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

          I guess??
