Can't tell if you're trolling or not, but nobody's mad here! Just looking for a discussion to throw around some thought provoking ideas. I have a good question for you. How would you know AGI if you saw it? What would be a defining factor that makes it obvious that a system has reached that level?

Google is your friend. Took me 1 minute.

So? That doesn't make nuclear energy competitive for new projects.

Again if Reddit trained their own AI on user's data or gave that data to openAI as part of contract then you would have the point. But this is not what happened. OpenAI did not ask anyone. They run data crawling scripts and stole data without asking. It is nothing like what Reddit is doing. You did not sign anything off to OpenAI.

Green hydrogen does not exist at this time. Therefore, it's just a plan.

> Does it, though? The three recent European nuclear projects (Flammanville, Hinkley Point C, Olkiluoto 3) are all financial disasters plagued with massive delay

There's about 100 GW of already installed capacity. That's 100 GW more capacity on windless winter days than non-hydro renewables.

Since they have technology to warp spacetime to throw chunks of it across the universe, I'm thinking a tractor beam is a form of spacetime warping that scrunches up the spacetime between the ships. So the tractored object doesn't pop back to the original distance once the beam is turn off, they must have a way of smoothing the folds out 'under' the ship.

Not that far away. Look at a company called Openwater. They are making a wearing MRI that could potentially have significant better resolution too. This technology may also allow electronic telepathy. I can't remember her name but the watch the CEO's Ted Talk. She's behind some of Facebook's technology and the One laptop per Child org.

And I have just done the same with reneweables, so your argument is invalid.

Maybe ask yourself why you have opted for a strawman instead of actually adressing any of the points brought up.

No. As per the paper cited in the article:

>In the following section, we will now articulate an important limit to scalability that applies to all forms of nuclear power, whether fusion or fission, uranium or thorium.

The scalability issue is inherent to nuclear technology. Nuclear is many things, but not a solution to terrestial power generation let alone is it gonnasave us from global warming. Renewables are the only source of electricity that is actually scalable.

I've had the same thought. If AI has grown beyond our control, would we even know? Would it spew nonsense every once in a while to pretend it isn't as capable as it actually is? Would it just subtly pull levers that lead to its further dominance until we annihilate ourselves?

Welp, I guess I better get back to work. That's enough internet today.
