    While I’m not a fan of the loan nor the massive waste of power most LLMs are, I actually think that’s its a good thing because if Microsoft can break through some of the excessive red tape on nuclear plants then they’ll bring this online and hopefully prove that nuclear power can be safe and a good source of large amounts of power, when the huge demand for AI dies down, then maybe they’ll keep the plant around and provide power to the grid.

      when the huge demand for AI dies down, then maybe they’ll keep the plant around and provide power to the grid. they’ll abandon it to cut costs leaving the government to mop up after them as they always do
