Yaaaaayyyy
Yay? This isn't reviving nuclear power for the betterment of the nation. This is a bullshit reason to turn on a nuclear power plant- to let Microsoft make money with a service people don't want.
I'm not talking about danger or anything, this is just a stupid use of resources.
I think op's yaaaaayyy was sarcastic.
But I'm with you, we should be reviving nuclear, maybe 3 mile Island would be a good starting point since I imagine there's a lot of stuff already there. Although if it's abandoned with no maintenance, there's probably a lot that's rusted out and needs to be replaced.
I agree. I'm all for nuclear power, but not for corporations to use like this. Fuck Microsoft and their AI.
Companies are now so big they can fund nuclear plants which the state can't fund. Ain't it grand?
Always has been. Dutch east india company still holds the record for most powerful and wealthy company to have existed.
A nuclear powered Artificially Intelligent supercomputer? What could possibly go wrong?
