@galdireonai.bsky.social: Unfortunately there are some very fundamental issues with the whole concept of fusion energy that I don't think we'll be able to overcome in time for it to make a difference, meanwhile it being "around the corner" serves as an excuse to avoid taking any actually USEFUL steps.

Our tech overlords would like to make clear that your fantasies of universal health care and affordable housing are childish while their fantasies of infinite energy to power their AI girlfriends are reasonable expectations and will come true imminently. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

AI is exhausting the power grid. Tech firms are seeking a miracle solution.www.washingtonpost.com Some data centers need as much energy as a small city, turning companies that promised a clean energy future into some of the most insatiable guzzlers of power

While Microsoft says they *expect to harness fusion by 2028*, I’m not holding my breath for 2028. I am, however, bullish as fuck on getting fusion up-and-running as soon as possible.
