99.9% of that can be solved with allowing the construction of new designs of reactors instead of booting the old ones back up.

That's never the question. No one is expected to answer that. Questions are not permitted. Asking questions is clue #1 your a Nazi.

The world should accept some bad things happening when we defund law enforcement.

The world should accept some bad things happening when the kids get trans-ed.

The world should accept some bad things happening when incarceration is obviated.

The world should accept some bad things happening when we unionize government workers.

The world should accept some bad things happening when we obviate standardized testing.

Finally, after having decided that all these things are the unquestioned purview of our most virtuous Great And Good, and a cohort of elites is entirely accustomed to inflicting whatever model for the world they prefer: 'The World Should Accept Some Bad Things Happening' For the Benefits of AI.

Ok. You're in their hands now, right where you put yourself. Enjoy.

I can't help but chalk up whatever has Altman's statement bouncing around your echo chamber to selective outrage. The fact is, the hubris we see here is not special.

The world should accept some bad things happening as we "decarbonize" everything.

The world should accept some bad things happening as we DEI everything.

The world should accept some bad things happening as we eradicate our provincial notions of borders and citizenship, up to and including mass deaths from terrorism.

We're expected to accept "bad things" on behalf of any number of elite agendas and virtues. Deeply isolated and disconnected bubble dwellers such Altman have been behaving exactly like this for a long time now. So don't be surprised if you find there is no real consequences, walk backs or other desirable outcome here; the elites you have been enabling feel quite entitled to they're indifference to your concerns, and you made them that way.

Great. Another hapless geek teen being persecuted for no reason. Except this time he's non-WASP, so the next decade's worth of hobby outrage can be even more indignant.

I suppose as long as we have these mass license+copyright bypass onions at our disposal, we may as well use them to make alternative browser engines?

Sure. Why not.

I wasn't sure if Slashdot had just been down all weekend, and there hadn't been any new posts, or if this was just another dupe.

Carry on. I guess.

Among the worst of all bullshit jobs we have invented in the West are narrative pushers and their junk "science."

Trump chose Retarded Drunk Kegsbreath... who is running the US Military... so...

Well yeah, TreasonBitch Trump and Apartheidist RetardedShit Musk's "DOGE" fired the competent employees all over. GOP are traitors and saboteurs, they all need to be removed from office and permanently barred from it forevermore so we can get started fixing all the problems that the America Hating Retardican Shitbags Party have caused.

Indeed. Space is no longer about how much money contractors can bilk out of the US government. It's about vast wealth being created in orbit. For SpaceX, those huge Starlink v3s are as important as the rocket: 10 years from now, using wires for client internet connectivity will be a quaint thing geeks go on about, but no one else actually uses. Musk is going to ruin the market for telecoms and cable operations, globally.

Uh, huh, sure.

Except for the fact that Slashdot's moderation doesn't actually work, thanks to the reich-wing retards building up botfarms to farm for mod points.

Now Slashdot is letting the GOPedophile Retardicans use AI to farm accounts for modpoints and downmod anyone that isn't a Shit Eating Nazi Republican too.

Oh look, the Mises Retardicans are back again. Haven't you Inbred Klanbitches died off yet?

"protect public safety" from what? Low voltage coax or fiber? WTF are these people on about?

If that's their argument, you know it's bullshit.

Oh kay. Found yer problem!

Trump's FCC is likely right on this one. That is, if you actually want anything built-out. Whatever the sclerotic hippy boomers in MN don't want is almost certainly the best policy.
