Subsidize retrofitting the entire nation with solar and invert it back into the grid
Might be because it's a LLM not an AI and requires massive amounts of data to be funneled into it to actually work. My admittedly limited understanding of it makes it seem like it's just another buzzword for things like neural networks and machine learning.
If those 'buzzwords' aren't ai then what do you think ai is? It's like saying circle and square aren't shapes they're buzzwords

The positive thing there is that it probably paces our development. If we can't get to true AGI without way more energy than we can currently produce, then we don't have true AGI risk right now.
There's still risk because it might not be true or we might be able to get close enough to do damage. But slowing down AI is fine by me.
hey guys, theres this thing called nuclear energy. It's pretty cool.

Wow, I fucking hate this guy the more he opens his mouth. He can seriously fuck off right now, if he thinks AI realistically needs him at this point he's sadly mistaken.
So will AI (or more accurately LLM) be the push needed to make limitless fusion energy a reality?
Obviously not. We’re being faced with an existential threat if we don’t secure alternative, sustainable forms of energy and even that threat isn’t enough to motivate our species.

He's going after the beryllium agitator, someone stop him.
Darn
This is probably why he's invested so much into Helion Energy, who are trying to make a small and cheap nuclear fusion reactor.
make a small and cheap nuclear fusion reactor
Aneutronic fusion isn't happening on this planet. We don't even have the fuel for it. It's a dumb thing to market when we can't even break even on D-T fusion and turning the neutrons into heat.
