Silicon Valley has a plan to save humanity: Just flip on the nuclear reactors

20 years too late. Renewables are now cheaper, faster to deploy, and improving at a faster rate.
I have a plan to save humanity: Slap silicon valley across the nose with a newspaper and firmly tell it ‘No’ whenever it gets the bright idea to save humanity.
Headline: Tech bros are meddling in a nuclear apocalypse!!!
Story: Ultra high performance processing is energy intensive, so technology companies are investing in power stations.
*Tech-bro mid play through of Fallout 4:* I got it.
Nuclear power is one of the biggest parts of the answer to climate change. Renewables plus nuclear reactors, combined with the slow abolition of personal motor vehicles and trucking and their replacement with better transit/shipping methods, basically solves the carbon problem. Dealing with what we’ve already done is a second, also very large problem, but having essentially limitless power makes that a lot easier, too.Â
Sounds more like a plan to save their subscription-based new gizmo that does not seem to have much use at such large scale, but, sure, let’s roll with “save humanity”.
so now they get to take credit for something people have been begging for for decades?
All this so that some half-baked neural network can bullshit convincingly to you. The inefficiency is obscene. Also these power plants and server farms require a LOT of water for cooling.
The enshittifiers of our world has an idea with a very dangerous substance. What could go wrong?
Here’s a question. Why does literally anyone take anything coming out of silicon valley seriously? What do they have to do to lose credibility? Destroy all of humanity and render the earth uninhabitable?
And I don’t mean they’re going to create an AI that will kill everyone. I mean they will continue to use their money and influence to preserve the status quo until we are all thoroughly and irrevocably fucked. You know, the most boring and banal apocalypse.
Actually, it is not the Silicon Valley plan.
not a great title when it is untrue. We have something – that is cheaper (1/2 the price of Coal as of last year ish) takes <1 year to build out, works in Alaska, takes less total land, and is projected to keep getting cheaper for a while longer. So yea… just silly.
