as an avowed believer in the necessity of nuclear energy, nothing could be worse for the industry's public image than its biggest & loudest boosters being rich CEOs who only want batteries for their chatbot farms. everything about this is a disaster and they haven't even built the fucking things yet
Problem: AI needs massive amounts of power to thrive. Nuclear makes lots of power. Nuclear takes a long long time to do safely.

Proposed solution that I'm sure will have no unpleasant consequences: Use AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear plants.
Power Companies Are Using AI To Build Nuclear Power Plants
Tech companies are betting big on nuclear energy to meet AIs massive power demands and they're using that AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear power plants.
