KI-Rechenzentren könnten bald mit ausgemusterten Atomreaktoren der Marine von Flugzeugträgern und U-Booten betrieben werden – das Unternehmen bittet das US-amerikanische Energieministerium um eine Kreditgarantie für den Start des Projekts

Honestly just turn off Copilot instead
This is stupid because naval reactors use like 97% HEU which can be used to make nuclear weapons, unlike normal nuclear power stations which use a much less enriched uranium.
I honestly cannot think of a group I’d trust less with access to HEU than AI freaks
> The company plans to file for a loan guarantee from the Energy Department, with the entire project expected to cost $1.8 to $2.1 billion.
If this is such a good business idea, why are they asking the government for money?
Tech bros need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and pay for their follies themselves.
Hopefully they all get shut down so we aren’t all tricked into becoming digital slaves and forced into 15min city’s and to work for crumbs for the rich ! We’ve been making them millions and billions anyways why do they need to change shit up?
So these techbros want to cut their own taxes, eliminate all regulations and gut the social safety net while simultaneously demanding that their loans for AI projects get 100% guaranteed by the government? Gold medal mental gymnastics
All big tech players – the most profitable companies in the world, sitting on mounds of free cash are floating bonds (more debt, public and private) to fund their AI initiatives, bluntly asking the government to effectively underwrite that debt when it fails…. and now asking for the government to fund the power to the data centers they can’t even use yet…. again…. while sitting on mounds of cash and record profits…. while laying people off left and right.
**If this isn’t the definition of a bubble that will completely fuck the taxpayer, I don’t know what is.**
Nothing better than guaranteed money
Oh God no… There is a reason they are retired reactors.
What about waste?
So…let’s scatter old nuclear reactors across America, what could *possibly* go wrong?
Ah, we’re giving Skynet the resources to make the bomb…. Great….
Can’t we just go full matrix already and just use people farms for electricity?
Ahh…..I just made comment that would be something they could do with retired ships. However, there a reason why their bring retired….
If this is possible they should have been deployed years ago.
I’d be a lot happier if we just turned off AI. We went millennia without it, and could go many more without it too
