https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/microsoft-hires-erin-henderson-to-head-nuclear-development-acceleration-for-data-centers/ just a reminder that Microsoft wants to do lil nuclear reactors for data centers and that is apparently all going along smoothly
@ingrid What could go wrong with Copilot Nuclear Power?
@ingrid and as a side benefit, they can sell surplus power into the grid, displacing coal?
@ingrid This sentence kind of freaked me out: "Late last year, it revealed that it was working with Terra Praxis to train a large language model to help with the small modular reactor regulatory process."
Which made me read the article that it linked to.
In *that* article, I came across this sentence: “We’re not getting the kind of wacky answers where the AI is hallucinating.”
and I'm getting huge 'my t-shirt is raising questions already answered by my shirt' vibes.
