The Three Mile Island nuclear plant, home of the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history, would restart under a deal in which Microsoft purchases all its power.

👍👍👍

The tax breaks in the Inflation Recovery Act are crucial to making the deal economically feasible, according to Constellation. They provide a credit for every megawatt hour of nuclear energy produced.

lmao so instead of this funding the energy transition it’s just subsidizing the AI grift

        There’s also the energy usage around obsessively gripe-posting about AI to consider.

        This is why we need a watts-used-per-unit-of-entertainment scale going so we can determine a treat hierarchy.

        “Homie,” concern trolling in defense of treat printers and baiting me seems to be the sum of your post history.

        considered poor forum etiquette tsk tsk

        You already have the tech inevitabilism beliefs of a typical redditor (VR boardrooms everywhere, everyone wearing AR glasses, maybe even NFTs being the old hits that you probably also latched on to before) and now you’re doing the civility concern trolling attempts of a typical redditor too.

        Are you even a leftist? Proselytizing for billionaire tech grifts under “stop criticizing the ruling class and its excesses, it’s going to happen anyway” sophistry doesn’t seem like it.

          Leftism is obsessively AI and musk posting as if it were a full time job, and the more you do that the more leftist you are.

          Remind the people why you had to take like a year off from posting (during which time the site was noticeably less annoying). Was it because you’re too confrontational and were getting into to many heated arguments with people about stupid shit?

              Honestly, it’s fascinating how committed you are to misinterpreting my intentions. I criticize obsessive AI griping not because I’m enchanted by techbro promises or “stanning for billionaires,” as you so colorfully put it. Rather, I’m urging a balanced perspective; it’s entirely possible to scrutinize the energy usage of various technologies—including gaming—without resorting to hyperbolic doomsaying or personal attacks.

              You ask if I’m a leftist, as if one’s entire political alignment could be judged by their stance on a specific facet of technology. Engaging critically with technology doesn’t equate to blind support of its most excessive implementations.

              Let’s use this platform to foster constructive debate, not sanctimonious sniping. We’re all here because we give a damn about the world and its future, right? Let’s not lose sight of that common ground.

                Your Redditisms are showing once again, right out of the starting gate.

                misinterpreting my intentions

                Right back at you. If you weren’t so knee-jerk ready to jump into more concern trolling whenever the treat printers and how they’re used are criticized, you’d have noticed by now that I had long establised that LLMs could be useful tools, but at present, they’re primarily used in wasteful, destructive, and precarity-increasing ways.

                You ask if I’m a leftist

                Yes, and I’m asking again, because so far all I’ve seen from you is hypocritically obsessive “you seem obsessed about billionaires doing bad things” concern trolling posting and reactive apologia in defense of their latest grifts as if that’s somehow uncalled for on a leftist shitposting forum.

                Let’s use this platform to foster constructive debate

                sanctimonious sniping

                You’ve gone way too far for that already. Dial back your own bullshit first.

                We’re all here because we give a damn about the world and its future, right?

                Stop trying to hush people on a leftist shitposting forum for posting in ways you don’t approve of. At this point I can’t help wonder if you own a Tesla, considering how often you whine about me posting my-hero 's latest clown antics.
