But why would we do that? Nuclear fissile material is noted for its ability to be formed into weapons that generate dangerous explosions and substances both acutely and chronically hazardous to human life, increasing cancer risk.
This is not a particularly obvious analogy to “data”.

- koolba 3y agoThe analogy is the costs and risks of storage. Data might not cause cancer if you stand next to it, but there’s plenty of risks involved in mass accumulation of data controlled by government entities. And anything that gives more incentive for that accumulation, like being able to run in house ML models, will surely lead to even more accumulation.
- tomoyoirl 3y agoSounds like this is an analogy better served by nuclear waste than by fissile material.
