Exactly. Which is why a lot of his stories are about how the three laws fail.

Also note that any actual implementation of the three laws requires AGI and we do not even know whether that is possible. We certainly have no approaches that could realistically lead to it, despite what some people hallucinate. It is not a question of throwing more computing power or data at the problem. We are missing some key ingredient.

The reason you do off-shore wind is that it is not intermittent. It can have very rare and entirely predictable non-wind situations, but in practice these are comparable to other forms of power generation. On-shore wind is different, unless it is high-wind. If you go high enough, on-shore wind becomes reliable as well. There are some experiments running in Europe for that.

DT is exceptionally stupid. He has savant syndrome and can do two things well: Turn people about as stupid as he is into loyal cult followers and escape being held responsible for his crimes. And that is basically it. And I would like to point out that the second is probably due to him being born rich.

The problem with your "analysis" is that you have no clue how to analyze this type of thing. And hence hence you are ending up with nonsense and do not understand where the specific problems of a specific installation come from. No, just looking at power generated is NOT enough. You basically make claims that need expertise on PhD level and you clearly and obviously do not even come close.

So, maybe not flamebait. But a nice demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect far-left side of the graph.

Solar and wind are, by there nature, intermittent...

That is not true for off-shore wind. This is the very reason you try to build wind off-shore. Yes, there can be down-times. Yes, they are predictable. No, they are not much worse than for other forms of power generation. And most if them are due to maintenance, not the wind not blowing.

I noticed the same thing. I am not sure, is this completely clueless journalism, or a non-verified LLM hallucination?

That said, the actual math is a bit better, because usually you go full battery only on rare occasions or never on this thing. It is not really large enough for a power generation replacement system. It is for fluctuations. On the plus-side, if it works well, other installations will follow and sodium ion does already very well on lifetime and cost and that will only get better.

They have done massive circular financing and massive burning of stupid ("investor") money. I would be very surprised if it does not come crashing down at this point. No matter what happens now, they cannot get profitable in the next few years. That is just completely outside of anything realistically possible. And at the same time, the problems with "LLM for everything" become more and more obvious.
