I won't because I do not give a crap if someone hacks my Slashdot account.

Lets face it, no one is going to use the land around the Three Mile Island power plant for anything besides a nuclear power plant. The reputation is too bad for anything else. Can you see a real estate agent trying to sell it?
"It has a certain glow about it."

But reactivating a plant that never had a problem and installing a server farm on/near it makes a lot of sense.

There is a difference between your Bank account password and your Slashdot password. I am perfectly willing to use 123456 as my slashdot password. I don't, but I am willing to use it. But my bank accounts now use two factor authentication.

Frankly, there are a ton of services that ask for a password for the benefit of the SERVICE, not for you. They want their metadata on you to be clean, rather than caring about your privacy.

If the study did not ask what the passwords were for, then the study proved nothing.

That is true. But they did not make it illegal, just problematic. Anyone under her jurisdiction is likely to get rid of Flock cameras. But they did it in Washington State, this is California. Judges have areas they control.

You could make a similar request for San Francisco. But San Francisco is a much bigger city. As such, they will have to pay a much larger amount to the city for the costs of making such a request.

Cheaper to start a new case and have it disallowed on legal grounds rather than merely making it politically dangerous to allow Flock cameras.

Simplified so smart children can understand it:

Nuclear power is just using radiation to heat water (or something else that is later used to heat water), then using the steam to turn a turbine, connected to magnets creating electricity in wires near the magnets. To do this we need a source of radiation that is consistent. To much and it gets so hot it melts everything near it ( 'melt down'). Too little and the radiation is not sufficient to keep going.

Radiation is when you spew out atomic particles - we will be focusing on spewing out neutrons. When they hit things it can heat them up and/or cause other atomic particles to spew out of the thing it hit. A chain reaction is when a material has enough radiation that they spew out enough particles to continue the process indefinitely.

Cold criticality is the point where you have enough radiation to create a chain reaction but the heat being generated is not that much. Not enough to make steam to turn a turbine. No electricity yet, but you are on the right track. Also, this is safe as it won't get hot enough to melt the machinery.

Delayed criticality when the chain reaction is strong enough to make steam to turn a turbine but not enough radiation to worry about. Things are delayed enough for you to control the situation. The neutrons are are going strong, but not fast enough to worry about a melt down.

Prompt criticality is when you get a run away reaction that keeps getting hotter and hotter. This is scary. Because it causes a melt down. This is unlikely to create a nuclear explosion because unless you intended to build a nuclear bomb, something melts and everything fizzles out.

Super criticality is what you build everything well enough to so that it won't melt down. This is called a nuclear explosion. Luckily you have to really work hard to build things this tough.

He said "Buy my crypto or no funding."

Because AI is not very important. Large Language Models are morons,not Artificially intelligent.

No intelligent human lets a LLM do anything important beyond suggesting stuff.

LLMs do a lot of minor tasks.

Yes corps could use LLMs to feed people propaganda. Guess what, they did that BEFORE LLMs and if LLMs vanish, they would still be doing it.

What you are describing is called Plutocracy, not capitalism.

Plutocracy is rule by the rich. Nobody wants to admit that so often they lie and claim to be a Capitalist.

Capitalism is about the Free Market (Free as in choice) not ruling.

You are doing better inthe UK (as of 22024) then the US. Here it is still legal to feed antibiotics to animals.

But you can still buy antibacterial soap in both the UK and the US

Immediately after covid, the main reason for the inflation was the covid checks. During covid their tax revenue went down but their spending doubled. How? The was the government printing money.

When you print money, you create massive inflation. It took a while for the economy to react, but it definitely did.

What happened next is called inelastic supply and demand curves. What that means is that prices take a shock to change. For a long time we had cheap food in part because no one would pay extra. Then covid hit and we were willing to pay MORE.

Now that prices went up, no one is willing to sell for less. They know we are willing to pay X amount and they are going to charge us X amount.

Worse, they think we will pay more and are doing everything they can to test it. The food industry has learned we can pay more for food and doing their best to get as much as they can.

It should be illegal to get the majority of them without a prescription.

The most important practice we need to stop is giving it to livestock as a way to increase growth. If the animal has not been examined by a veterinary and given a prescription, it should be illegal to feed it an antibiotic. Currently it is possible to buy tons of food with antibiotics installed.

Also, this means those hand soaps with antibiotics, we need to outlaw them. Alcohol gels do a BETTER job of killing the bacteria and the antibiotics just breed resistance.

There are three separate issues that cause this problem.

1) Distribution costs. Power is used up in sending it long distances. In addition, the infrastructure to distribute power is both expensive and limited. We need to build more power lines as well as power plants. Takes time.

2) Most types of power plants have severe limitations. Some cause pollution, some incur fear of radiation, some are intermittent, some are dependent on physical features and a good water supply. It is NOT a market distortion to deal with these issues, it is the free market reacting to various different concerns besides power.

In general, the best solution is to design industrial centers that contain both a power plant and a bunch of businesses in areas chosen for the benefit to that type of power plant. You could build a data center in a high solar area with a built in power bank that lasts the night.

And trucks should be forced to us an entirely different set of roads.

Your idea is an entirely different kind of stupid. Most electrical grids are a hugely expensive piece of infrastructure.

We do not want a singular AI that is unified and acts as one.
The AI War is what we want to prevent this.

Ideally we want hundreds of them, each with different purposes, from different builders - companies and countries.

If one of them wants to say convert all metal into paperclips, another will say slow your roll, I need the aluminum to make as many sapphires as possible. A third will say I need the copper for my pipes!

Or maybe it will be more sophisticated disagreements, but it does not matter.

End result, the AI's differing objectives will prevent them from taking control of Earth. The plucky humans will say they learned their lesson, but let's be honest - there is going to be a sequel to this movie.

You are thinking of wiring a whole house for outlets, lights, heat, appliances, etc.

This is more like you buy a set of solar panels and a battery that comes with say 6 outlets. The kind of thing you use for Glamping.

Then you get 6 extension cords and glue them to your walls. Do not staple, GLUE.
