    Their billions of dollars in profit could’ve started this process decades ago. They’re just doing it now because they need to keep pace with AI data processing demands. It’s a net-zero strategy.

    Incredible. How can companies have that much power? Buying a nuclear reactor as if it were a birthday gift.

    It’s good that they’re doing this even if it’s for their own gain

    Well when the LLM craze collapses in the nearish future we’ll have a bunch more nuclear power in the 2030’s. So that’s good I guess?

    I’m looking at black holes to power my energy needs!

    First things first…I will create a black hole here on Earth. This is very complicated and I will have to invent a ton of technology to get that done. That’s as far as I can think of right now. Whenever we have the black hole, we’ll have a meeting to figure out the rest of the plan.
