nuclear power produces long-lived radioactive waste, which needs to be stored securely. Nuclear fuels, such as the element uranium (which needs to be mined), are finite, so the technology is not considered renewable. Renewable sources of energy, such as solar and wind power suffer from “intermittency”, meaning they do not consistently produce energy at all hours of the day.
fusion technologies have yet to produce sustained net energy output (more energy than is put in to run the reactor), let alone produce energy at the scale required to meet the growing demands of AI. Fusion will require many more technological developments before it can fulfil its promise of delivering power to the grid.
Tech bosses think nuclear fusion is the solution
No they don’t; this is literally the first thing I’ve ever read claiming that. Tech bosses are perfect happy to power AI with nuclear fission and don’t give the slightest fuck about the waste.
(As well they shouldn’t, TBH, since it really ought to get reprocessed anyway. But that doesn’t excuse them for wanting to waste the power on bullshit.)

If only we had some way of storing energy for use later. Oh well.
Fusion. What they’re missing is fusion powe
So maybe they will invest to get it further. It’s not a 9 women can make a baby in a month … but sufficient funding for next gen nuclear and fusion will help progress.
They’re missing a fusion reactor capable of positive energy output?
“Tech bosses think warp drive might get us to Mars faster…”
Theyre missing the fact that cold fusion doesn’t (currently) exist? (haven’t read the article)?
But still right on though
Maybe AI can help us break the fusion hurdles. Oh. It’s still telling people to eat rocks, just used to create waifu porn and as a mass spy application? Nothing else, really? Well shit.
just ask AI how to build a fusion reactor, ez
Nothing else? Please do not speak for other people if you can not grasp what others do with this tool.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to leave out the bestiality porn creation as well. That was unintentional on my part.
