Governments will fail. Wherever unpopular “Green” Measures are implemented, the right-wing cockroaches appear, destroying any discourse.
The consequence will be a global war by stupid populists who think that is one solution (which it kind of is,… Dead people won’t emit CO2)
You piss others off by being condescending and generalize your answer over the specifics of the post (Google) and then act surprised when someone pisses back?
Okay then I educate you:
Base Load = 70% Industrial Needs 24/7
Base Load = Paid by everyone
Base Load = Reliable Power
Again… you don’t need nuclear to run hospitals and street lights.
I never even said “nuclear bad” only: If nuclear, attach the correct price point to it… including waste disposal. Suddenly huge investments on buffering reliable regenerative energy becomes an option… because nuclear is only cheap when everyone carries the cost, because the Industry needs (base load level safety) power.
And for the article: Where steel mills produce jobs, LLM training is killing them. So we all will have to pay for the disposal of nuclear waste produced by a startup nuclear reactors without any participation on the profits. It’s not even about Base Load, because Google tries to minimize the strain on “Base Load” by integration of the reactors into the data centers. Still… waste is an issue as with bigger nuclear too. And they won’t pay for the disposal.
And you are repeating yourself like: “Base Load” " Educate yourself" without even being able to explain anything… except: Base Load is “Night energy”… WTF? BRO?
Are you even trying? Or is this just another shill/troll post from some “nuclear to the moon” bullshit from Wallstreet bets?
That’s not completely wrong but in parts. I can easily buffer solar energy to cover 80% of my energy needs. You have to understand that most of the base load isn’t “our” power consumption. It’s mostly commercial.
And again. Google training LLMs is not Base-Load and nether deflection. It’s the subject of the Article!
I don’t berate. He is right, but again I don’t see how the containment of nuclear waste, Google is producing for LLM training for their profits, should be a public concern. Even on a global scale, “base load” is the continuous need of power … so mostly industries. You don’t need Nuclear Power Plants to run street lights and Hospitals, you need them to run steel mills and manufacturing plants.
My point is exactly: Why should the industrial need for reliable power be priced on our bill without a fair share on the profits for society? And this isn’t even touching the impossibility of putting a price tag on something that has to be stored for 1000ns of years.
Unhinged? I just replied in the same tone. He didn’t even reply to any of my points. Come clear, what’s your point?
Base load? Oh you mean the kind of power only the industry needs but wouldn’t be able to pay for if it wouldn’t be shifted towards the public? Don’t try to fool people by just not talking about this little fact.
Solar and small scale power buffering could easily be decentralized for the publics overall power need, including charging and utilizing cars as buffers. A private person isn’t “the base load”… but we all pay for “the base load”.
Base load err… educate yourself nuclear boy.
Apart from that: Your arguments didn’t change, they are still wrong, that’s why “we” stopped listening. You reproduce Industry talking points without checking. (e.g. “bAsE loAD”) like an angry little LLM.
Who needs the power needs to pay for it. Including the waste. I don’t see why I should clean up Google’s micro nuclear waste.
Nuclear should only be done by the state. Any commercial company doing nuclear HAS TO CARE FOR THE WASTE. It has to be in the calculation, but no on ecan guarantee 10000 years of anything. Same with fossils… execute the fossil fuel industry. They destroyed so much, they don’t deserve to earn a single cent.
That funky startup is producing waste. Imagine a startup selling Asbestos as the new hot shit in 2024.
Fun Times! Because everyone pays for the waste and when something goes wrong. Privatizing Profits while Socializing Losses. The core motor of capitalism.
What in turn is short sighted. A new age of Piracy is on the rise my friends… time to sail again.
Maybe they only put them on the “Off Road” Tracks of the Street Trains. They usually have a covered bottom (like Cars) to avoid debris flinging into its soft parts… but that will only solve one Issue of the many MANY there are. (Lots of Ifs here)
Shit man… you should get in contact with a maker space or hacker space. Maybe a bounty on Hackaday which just jailbreaks those devices. At least they stay useable (I would love to tinker around with one of these, and so would probably a lot of makers).
Thanks for the answer. Really a sad world we live in.
Strange that politics who call for deregulation never deregulate useful things.
But just out of interest, what happened to the devices?
The system can only be fixed by violence. I am no violent guy but billionaires have to die… all of them or we don’t even have to start.
I keep on trying to fix little things, but I don’t think that I can do enough… even remotely compared to the destruction their greed brings.
I’m out… no kids, no blame, it’s more CO2 than anyone can save. And honestly,… it’s the kids of the other people who will die in the climate wars. I simply don’t care any more until real change happens.
Edit: Humanity will prevail. Sooner or later even with a technological state as today or way more advanced… it just will take a few 100 more years for the remaining few to build this solar punk future. I’m just sad I’m living now and not when all this capitalism BS already died ages ago.
Millennial here too… I blame myself for everything, including climate change. Everything I (can) buy is wrapped in plastic. Everything I (can) consume produces CO2. Every step I take, every breath I make… I’m killing earth.
I have a lot of self hate and can understand anyone who hates my generation. At least it ends with me. Who ever thinks kids are a good Idea must be completely insane.

Theoretically I could display highly illegal stuff and they would distribute it making them complicit?
Can the API be hacked to flood their servers with petabytes of cat pictures?
What is happening with the data? Where are the data savers?
Yes you are 100% correct (or at least in line with my views… which I think should be correct)
F-Droid… An open source app store with exactly that: Apps without BS
