“There’s no way to get there without a breakthrough,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, arguing that AI will soon need even more energy.

    I totally agree with your second paragraph… but, I honestly worry about bad actors. We see it enough with war. I just don’t trust other people to not use the leftovers or to destroy the reactors to not create massive damage. It’s seemingly the nature of man.

      Right except the kinda of plants that generate energy aren’t the kinds that are good at making atomic weapons. What about Germany and Finland? Both have a strong nuclear reactor program. Do you worry about them starting a nuclear war?

      I am more worried about soft power. Everyone knows nuclear war is suicide. You know what is not suicide? Using Twitter to break up the EU, hacking a server so you can embarrass a candidate you don’t want, funneling money to get the mafia connected candidate you want in. With about as much money as a small city budget has Russia managed all that. Nukes are so 1950s.
