Constellation Energy to restart Three Mile Island nuclear plant, sell the power to Microsoft for AI
www.cnbc.com
Constellation described the agreement with Microsoft as the largest power purchase agreement that the nuclear plant operator has ever signed.

Three Mile Island was the worst nuclear accident in US history. Was mainly caused by poor design of human feedback systems which caused operational confusion and lead to a catastrophic failure.

      Probably they mean the way “AI” is presented to the public / investors. Most things that claim to be “AI” aren’t, they’re just regular boring ol’ software, and even those things that do use AI are usually just using them for one tiny facet that doesn’t actually require them.

      There’s potential for some incredible advances in AI right now, but outside of some novelty examples we really haven’t figured out what it’s actually useful for quite yet. It’s one of the more interesting questions in the field.

        Agreed, but the point of the original reply is that AI, like fraud, is magnitudes more rampant and here to stay. For now.

          And that fraud is specifically rampant because of ai… so if companies arent using ai to combat it then they would never be able to keep up.

        If the general bulk of appreciable-quantity tech investors suddenly found out in granular detail what is actually being done with their money as opposed to what they were told, it would probably cause the biggest crash since the Great Depression.
