If they handle their nuclear reactor like they handle their cloud infrastructure security, we’re doomed.

AI needs that's much power?

Fuck you, ditch it like a Zune and make some more video games.

I don't get why a train AI would need so much power, how hard is it to drive a train?

Will the nuclear reactors be on the train with the AI, or will it be some sort of wired transfer?

AI's going to kill us off by doing what we do better than us. Consuming resources and producing waste. And we're already pretty good at it.

I’m not opposed to new nuclear energy in principle. However Microsoft, an unrelentingly bad organization that consistently acts in bad faith to its customers, employees and businesses parters, and is seemingly dedicated to making awful products that never meaningfully improve, is not something I would trust to do nuclear safely.

I have read scifi (Bear : Blood Music, Egan : I forget) where packing enough computation into a small enough space caused reality to warp. So look out!

I played minecraft where too much data in the same chunk caused it to corrupt. Watch out!

Microsoft has invested in several fusion projects too.
