As much as I hate calling LLMs “AI” and the recent surge in its use and production, why hasn’t any of these brilliant machines told their owners about nuclear power? We figured out how to rub spicy rocks together and generate power without the need to light anything on fire a long time ago.
They fired up an old decommissioned nuke plant in Eastern Pennsylvania to power a Microsoft data center
That still requires a turbine to turn the steam into electricity. If turbines are the shortage then nuclear doesn't solve the shortage.
Maybe they did. We’ll find out in a couple decades
