To be honest, I’m surprised Google/Alphabet hasn’t tried to get into running their own reactor by this point. Energy seems like the one thing they haven’t touched yet.

Probably because once you started a nuclear reactor you can’t kill the project and discard it on a whim.

That was a nasty line by you

Eh, that’s their software side. Google doesn’t do that with hardware infrastructure like data centers.

Generative Ai is such a drain on our resources. While I am happy this is bringing about more green energy sources, watching it be poured into such meaningless bullshit is depressing.

Well, AI models will improve and so will the hardware. Hopefully that means down the line, Ai will run on pretty conventional hardware and there will be an abundance of green energy.

Awfully optimistic of you.
