Today, in things I’d read on a fading screen in a half destroyed building in a Fallout game…
Every time I see a headline like this I think, “He’s not really…fuck yes he is, it’s literally what he’s doing!”
Had to check. After reading, it’s even worse than the headline makes it out.
holy shit! right! :
“On Tuesday, the US Department of Energy (DOE) launched an application for interested parties to apply for access to a maximum of 19 metric tonnes — a little under 42,000 pounds — of weapons-grade plutonium, which has long been a key resource undergirding the US nuclear arsenal.”
So this shit is going to disappear and for the entire rest of the time humanity lives, we will have to worry about people building mini nukes with this stolen material. It’s very hard to get it currently, but that much could make many bombs.
So officially it’s just ACCESS. You’re not carting it away without an escort or a clear idea of where it’s going, and it’s still technically controlled by the DOE. However, since the levers are all ripped off by the administration cutting everything to the bone and then some, this is effectively a cash injection to OpenAI by financing some terror organizations and rogue states.
a bomb set off by Goldstein would help reinforce the government. I just saw this on the Fox Telescreen, superplusgood.
New experimental reactor designs, YES.
Sam Altman and anything, NO.
The public’s perception of nuclear energy is ridiculously misinformed. Combined with international policies for things like radiation limits largely being based around Linear No Threshold, which is based on assumptions made in the 1950s almost solely about the bombs dropped on Japan, and ignoring all research since that proves the exact opposite, simply because it’s easy to understand and form policies around.
Isn’t solar already insanely inexpensive when compared to all other energy sources?
