I'm a huge fan of AI. I predict that it will help us solve previously intractable problems in science, engineering, medicine and maybe even politics.

Presumably you mean LLMs. LLMs cannot think; cannot synthesize new ideas; thus cannot solve unsolved problems. LLMs are not the path to AGI.

Comment Re:BNPL groceries = groceries on credit cards (Score 3, Insightful) 97

I assume you mean buying groceries using credit cards and not paying off the balance in full thus paying interest. Personally, I buy everything including groceries using a credit card (via Apple Pay) and always pay off the balance in full. It's easier than dealing with cash and coins.

When something goes badly wrong with a nuclear power plant, the entire human population sees an uptick in cancer rates and a chunk of the planet gets declared uninhabitable for 10,000 years.

That's true of only fission reactors, but TFA is talking about fusion reactors. Aside from the radiation being much, much less, it has a much, much shorter half-life. Additionally, the chances of something going horribly wrong are much, much less since fusion reactors can't have a run-away chain reaction.
