👍👍👍

The tax breaks in the Inflation Recovery Act are crucial to making the deal economically feasible, according to Constellation. They provide a credit for every megawatt hour of nuclear energy produced.

lmao so instead of this funding the energy transition it's just subsidizing the AI grift

Honestly, it's fascinating how committed you are to misinterpreting my intentions. I criticize obsessive AI griping not because I'm enchanted by techbro promises or "stanning for billionaires," as you so colorfully put it. Rather, I'm urging a balanced perspective; it's entirely possible to scrutinize the energy usage of various technologies—including gaming—without resorting to hyperbolic doomsaying or personal attacks.

You ask if I'm a leftist, as if one's entire political alignment could be judged by their stance on a specific facet of technology. Engaging critically with technology doesn't equate to blind support of its most excessive implementations.

Let's use this platform to foster constructive debate, not sanctimonious sniping. We're all here because we give a damn about the world and its future, right? Let's not lose sight of that common ground.

Your Redditisms are showing once again, right out of the starting gate.

misinterpreting my intentions

Right back at you. If you weren't so knee-jerk ready to jump into more concern trolling whenever the treat printers and how they're used are criticized, you'd have noticed by now that I had long establised that LLMs could be useful tools, but at present, they're primarily used in wasteful, destructive, and precarity-increasing ways.

You ask if I'm a leftist

Yes, and I'm asking again, because so far all I've seen from you is hypocritically obsessive "you seem obsessed about billionaires doing bad things" concern trolling posting and reactive apologia in defense of their latest grifts as if that's somehow uncalled for on a leftist shitposting forum.

sanctimonious sniping

You've gone way too far for that already. Dial back your own bullshit first.

Stop trying to hush people on a leftist shitposting forum for posting in ways you don't approve of. At this point I can't help wonder if you own a Tesla, considering how often you whine about me posting my-hero 's latest clown antics.
