IAEA is the international body responsible for standardizations on nuclear energy.

Four years is not a long span of time in the context of nuclear energy, where technological developments take the scale of decades.

This press release pertains to the newly announced western strategy for nuclear, low-carbon energy. That strategy is still current.

By working to ensure that everyone can benefit from nuclear science, the IAEA underpins rights enshrined in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in 1976. These include the right to benefit from scientific progress; the right to an adequate standard of living and the right to the highest-attainable standard of health.

The Agency does this by using nuclear science to combat zoonotic diseases; bolster food safety; protect fruits from pests; strengthen water management; treat cancer; and of course, to help countries mitigate climate change.

SNAFU, it’s all sus anymore

Ever heard of “taking a piss”? Apparently you really like drinking piss.

You’re right, there are NO valid opinions, my bad.

“An opinion is a judgment, viewpoint, or statement that is not conclusive, rather than facts, which are true statements.”

It does today…

I am at a loss, you might have to explain that one to me - all I’ve got is either something was sus or Save Union Souls lol

However many years it takes for these LLM fools to wake up, hopefully they can find a way to laugh at themselves for thinking that it was cutting-edge to jam the internet into a fake jellyfish brain and calling it GPT. I haven’t looked recently, but I still haven’t seen anyone talking about neuroglial networks and how they will revolutionize the applications for AI.

There’s a big*** book, but apparently no public takers in the deep neural network space?

Energy consumption has a dark underbelly of rare earth mineral consumption that is often just swept under the rug of shiny new thing. Ooh.

permacompute or bust

All opinions are valid. Not all opinions contain facts. All opinions contain assholes.

Too big to fail.

That is a very valid and reasonable opinion, sorry to see it downvoted.

There will be strong disagreement with you, however, on the case that LLMs are a big enough resource hog to require outright banning for just that reason.

If you are looking for Big Tech hit boxes, try for things like writing laws that require all energy consumption in datacenters to be monitered and reported using established cross-disciplinary methods.

Or getting people to stop buying phones every year. Or banning disposable vapes.

From earth.org: “Data centres are typically considered black box compared to other industries reporting their carbon footprint; thus, while researchers have estimated emissions, there is no explicit figure documenting the total power used by ChatGPT. The rapid growth of the AI sector combined with limited transparency means that the total electricity use and carbon emissions attributed to AI are unknown, and major cloud providers are not providing the necessary information.”

How much energy do you think gets used by a computer that costs $700,000 per day to run?

or feral swine

Forgot the opportunity cost.

Big tech - move fast, break things, disrupt, and destroy

I know exactly how you feel, friend. Happy to help :)
