"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I also find it strange that the person always compares nuclear with coal, as if it was a “x or y” thing… Were renewables not yet invented when he recorded the video? Am I missing something?

There are more disadvantages like the fact the fuel rods in Europe usually come from Russia, which is technically sanctioned for transforming Ukraine (ironically, that also includes the area of Zaporizhzhia around their nuclear power plant 🙃) into a war zone. But anyway…

IMO, we should build renewables that are cheaper and invest in battery storage. I wish, my country would have done that instead of China, because both technologies currently generate lots of money for them.
