The episode has a point, all this nuclear talk is a fig leaf for really excessive and probably pointless energy consumption. So-called AI feels like a Ponzi scheme in more ways than one.
Tech companies will use the power no matter what. Might as well use nuclear, even if it’s only 50% of the demand.
And about AI, I’m sorry you can’t use it to anything. I’m using it daily at my work. Both Adobe’s and LLMs. Time saver.
How much time do you save and what type of work do you do? As a software engineer I don’t find it helpful at all. It’s just as easy to Google whatever I need.
I use generative AI to remove objects in Photoshop, because it’s alot faster than doing it myself.
It might only take me 2-3 minutes, but the AI finishes in seconds. And when you do that often enough, it’s extremely helpful.
I also use it for translation and to proof read grammar. Time saver as well.
It’s inevitable and it helps me personally so stop resisting.
