"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'm not even necessarily comparing costs, I'm demonstrating that that solar is surpassing nuclear in the real world and it's only going to accelerate. Dirty energy doesn't benefit from being lapped by solar, there is no advantage for dirty energy if we just invest in solar+grid-scale battery storage instead of nuclear energy. You can't just say "every power source is the same, nothing is different" and expect that to be a coherent idea. Some clean energy sources are better than others.
Nuclear has its place, but it's small and it always will be.
