I think it’s the responsible thing to do, sure, but I feel like there’s a problem of scalability with LLMs. That was more of my point.
Comment on Three Mile Island nuclear plant set for restart on Microsoft AI power deal
echodot@feddit.uk 1 month agoI’m all right with it really because it doesn’t really matter. Nuking material isn’t really dangerous at least in any sensible context and it doesn’t really put out a lot of carbon so if Microsoft want to restart nuclear power station then I don’t really have any objection.
As to whether they need to be doing this is another question, but the fact that they’re doing it at all doesn’t really bother me.
There’s always the outside possibility that they decide that the nuclear power station isn’t enough and end up building a Dyson Sphere or something.

It used to take a computer with a ton of ptocessors to beat the best human. Now your phone can do it. When your most common tasks can be done on a phone NPU, and fewer GPUs need to be in the cloud it will get more efficient

It puts out literally zero carbon. Once you build a nuclear plant it’s 100% green after the construction

Well it does put out some carbon because the extraction and refining processes are not carbon zero, but there are considerably less than coal or gas.
