This seems... idk, ideal? Lets use our cleanest & most energy dense means of power generation for our most frivolously expanding waste of energy. Unless we give microsoft authority over the DOE, which we aren't (maybe IBM tho, they seem like they can be trusted...), I'm not really seeing a downside to this.
IBM can be trusted, lol how easily history forgets.
Congrats, you got the joke!
Ideal would be them not reversing a decade of energy savings in the name of AI, but yeah, if they're going to do that anyway then Nuclear is one of the better options.
Yeah... But why is this being pushed so hard? When the billionaire owned media pushes a message this hard, I can't help but look for the terrible consequences I'm missing
I think in this case it's not exceptionally nefarious, just greedy. They'll save boatloads of money (and be able to centralize their facilities) if these reactors get approved, instead of being forced to pay to upgrade the municipal infrastructure because of the terrific strain they're placing on it. A massive power source, all for them? Hot diggity.
Couldn't that power be used to take control over Bitcoin chain?
Tbh we probably already have that. Five Eyes is wildly held to control 50% of the TOR nodes, bitcoin cant be that much less of a priority.
no. safety of bitcoin is based on cryptography, not lack of electrical power. that would be most bizarre case of security through obscurity.
